I am pretty new at this, so if you can help me it would be cool. Here is a link to some parts: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ddWYjc My computer had a problem where my XMP profile wouldn't stick. After I started using the PC and turning it on again, it would go back to 2133. People told me that updating the BIOS version would fix this which makes sense so i updated the BIOS from 2.50 to 2.60 and added a different XMP profile (changing 2133 to 3066) and increased my CPU voltage from 1.23750 to 1.29750 (which is clearly what i did wrong). Now the PC turns on but it won't boot up. What should I do next? Should I reset the CMOS?

Clear the memory chip, and you'll have a working computer again. Remove it from the case, wait about a minute to let it cool down completely, then put it right back in place.

Clear the memory chips and that problem should go away. Remove the power source, wait about one to two minutes so everything cools down slightly, then snap it right back into place.
