I attempted to push my HyperX 8x2GB 3200 to 3600 MHz, but I overlooked a crucial detail—does the motherboard or CPU support that speed? My system is now stuck and won’t boot, with the setup Motherboard- MSI Bazooka v2 and Ryzen 5 2600. Any suggestions on resolving this issue?

Reset CMOS to restore BIOS settings. Either remove the CMOS battery for 5 minutes or use the JOSM jump.

Reset the CMOS by powering off the PC and removing the battery or by jumping the pins.

Clearing CMOS is often used during overclocking. It’s important to stay realistic about timing settings when boosting RAM and CPU performance—overclocking usually doesn’t cause damage unless conditions are extreme.
