Hey Guys! So yesterday I tried to make my R5-1600 run faster by overclocking it with Ryzen Master. I set the clock from 3.4 GHz up to 3.5 GHz. I used Ryzen Master for this, but after restarting my computer, a blue screen appeared. That was my first time getting one. I got scared so I tried to fix it myself. But when I opened Ryzen Master, it just shut down on its own. So I deleted the app and went straight into the BIOS. There, the clock stayed at 3.4 GHz. After some programs started running, they would close themselves randomly, and my games wouldn't even start properly. I wiped everything off my drives, but that didn't work either for the small programs closing on their own anymore. My big problem is just that the games still aren't working right now. I really want to know what else can I try to fix this so they actually run. MB: MSI B350M Pro-VDH Plus CPU: Ryzen 5 1600Gpu: GTX 1060 3GB Windows is installed on a 120GB Kingston SSD thanks to anyone trying to help!

Have you turned off the motherboard CMOS setting again?

Did you wipe the motherboard's memory chip?

I finally got this working! Before launching, the game would often crash when opening the menu or right after players spawned. After testing two games, it feels good to say that everything is smooth. Thanks for your patience. If something goes wrong, I'll let you know with a quick update message.
