Question My B85M-G R2.0 motherboard has stopped working after attempting to overclock.
Hi, I placed 1.9 volts in the BIOS for cache, core, and something else. After two seconds my motherboard froze and shut down, then it turned back on but displayed a black screen. I already reset the CMOS and replaced the RAM. When I start the motherboard without the CPU, it doesn’t turn on. When I connect the CPU, it powers up but still shows a black screen. I don’t hear any sound from the PC speakers. The CPU is warm. Should I get a POST card for this issue? Please let me know if I need to replace the motherboard or the CPU.
Curious about the 1.9V setting? Did you explore any research on this? What led you to try it?
A 4590 doesn’t really support overclocking, particularly on a B85 board, making this approach unsound overall.
Nonetheless, the board likely has safeguards to prevent accepting 1.9V and not supplying it to the CPU.

How are you handling the CMOS reset? Did you remove the battery, discharge any remaining power, and wait 10 minutes before reassembly?
Hi, I set 1.9 volts in the BIOS for cache, core, and something else. After two seconds my motherboard reset and it displayed a CPU OVERCLOCK PROBLEM message. Then I entered BIOS but the computer shut down instantly. Now it doesn’t boot at all.
I already performed a CMOS reset, but when I start the motherboard without the CPU it doesn’t turn on. When I insert the CPU into the socket, the board powers on but shows a black screen. There’s no sound from the speakers, and the CPU is warm. Should I replace the PCIe POST card?
Please let me know what needs replacing – motherboard or CPU?
