I just increased the frequency of my ram on a b350m motherboard, but now the pc won’t boot. I can’t even reach my bios because it doesn’t recognize my mouse or keyboard. The monitor isn’t getting any signal—only my leds in the cadence light up. I’ve tried removing and reinserting the ram, but it didn’t help. I also tried accessing the cmos, but I’m unsure how to do that. What should I do next?

A BIOS reset jumper pin is likely present on the board. Check the manual for details. Use a jumper or screwdriver to short it and reset everything to the default settings. This should enable the system to restart.

The specific model of the motherboard wasn't mentioned in the manual, and the battery location wasn't shown either.

I successfully removed and repositioned the CMOS, that worked.
