Problem with overclocked CPU causing PC failure to start
Problem with overclocked CPU causing PC failure to start
I recently increased my CPU's clock speed using the Ryzen Master software, but my PC won't power on anymore. I tried enabling Game Mode in Ryzen Master and restarted the computer to apply the changes. Now, no matter how I press the power button, the system just lights up and shuts off instantly, along with the fans stopping as well. I only changed settings in the software and not the BIOS. Can someone assist me?
And if you don’t have the manual, is there an online way to get it?
If accessing the BIOS is impossible, proceed by erasing the CMOS. You may still manage to enter the BIOS.
Which version should I select?
The support page provides details on the HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop PC 690-0000i manual.

It’s an HP system, but the manual doesn’t explain this feature as clearly as it does for a standard motherboard. I discovered it in the provided link. On page 10, there’s a mention of a Password Jumper; the image shows that the jumper beneath is labeled CMOS. When the computer is off, place the jumper on these two pins for ten seconds, then return it to its original position. After that, power up the PC again. If this doesn’t resolve the issue, you might need to remove the battery (#21) and attempt to clear CMOS once more.
I notice the 6 pins but it doesn't specify whether it's CMOS or SW_CMOS, it just says FDO.
