I wanted to speed up my CPU because it was limiting performance. I have a Ryzen 5 2600x and an Aorus B450 pro Wi-Fi motherboard. I used AMD MASTER and accidentally set my clock speed to the maximum (2500). That’s around 2500 MHz, though I’m not sure exactly. Now I try to boot it up and the motherboard shows a steady red light in the bottom right corner. When I attempt to start it, nothing happens—I can’t even reach the BIOS. The only way to shut it down is by turning off the power supply. My question is, what should I do next?

Reset the CMOS by either locating the specific pins and connecting them with a screwdriver for 5-10 seconds or removing the battery button below the GPU for the same duration. I prefer the latter method. Also, check which red LED in the lower right is illuminated—if it's the DRAM one, that makes sense; otherwise, let me know.

Intel created a comprehensive manual for removing CMOS on standard ATX boards. It applies to most systems effectively.

That's correct. She started functioning normally immediately. Thank you so much—I did lose a few years of life expectancy due to stress, but I really value your assistance. Cheers!
