Pc won't boot
I attempted to overclock my i5 6600k and managed to reach a steady 4,7 ghz at 1.350v, or at least I thought so.
While using the PC, it would randomly shut down, which was a mistake not to overlook. After about five minutes of gameplay, it stopped again, but this time it wouldn’t reboot.
I tried resetting the BIOS using the jumper connected to the CPU overvolt function. I’m unsure if that worked, but the PC still won’t boot.
The issue isn’t with the PSU since the motherboard is powered on (as shown by the power lights on the motherboard).
I should admit I’ve had some audio problems after the OC, and this seemed to occur when I connected the USB to the back instead of the front.
Please help me, I’m really struggling. This is very frustrating.
Also, the motherboard is the ASUS Z170-A.

Remove coin battery from mobo to reset CMOS and attempt again. If it passes POST then hangs, consider Windows recovery for repair.
