Hey, your PC crashes unexpectedly after trying to overclock a non-overtclockable CPU. You opened Easytune to demonstrate how to do it, but it auto-occludes the system. When you press the power button, it turns on for two seconds, then shuts down and restarts briefly, working for about ten seconds before stopping again. You can't even access BIOS. I've tried resetting the CMOS and changing the battery, but nothing works. Can you help me fix this? Thanks.

It looks like something malfunctioned with you. The most likely culprits are the motherboard or the CPU. To be cautious, consider using a different power supply, as this is the least costly option among what could be faulty. If both the PSU and GPU seem okay (which seems likely), then the issue might be elsewhere.

Perform a visual check of the motherboard when you attempt to boot the system. Ideally, only the CPU, GPU, and one memory stick should be connected. Integrated graphics are even better.

I've tested a different GPU, another PSU, HDD, and RAM, but the issue persists. I haven't tried booting the PC without the GPU and with just one RAM stick. Could it help if I tried starting the computer with fewer components?

Reset your BIOS by using the MB jumper and remove the MB battery for a minimum of five minutes. After that, restart the PC and inform us of the result.

I've already tried that...but nothing changed, so I uninstalled the battery for about two minutes.
