I tried to push my CPU beyond its limits, but accidentally affected the GPU settings too. My PC is now completely unresponsive—no visuals, no response at all. The friend’s machine still runs smoothly even with a weak Radeon RX580, but my setup is stuck. I attempted to boot it normally and the fans started, yet nothing appears on screen. I removed the GPU to use integrated graphics, but that didn’t help either. It seems I might have damaged the system permanently.
Did you reset the CMOS? Consider taking out the battery and connecting the jumper wires if you remember their positions.
The Ryzen 3 1200 doesn't have integrated graphics, so it makes sense that didn't work. There is an option in MSI Afterburner that enables overclock when you first boot. You might have that enabled which is causing instability. Try resetting CMOS and booting into Safe Mode. If you can boot into Safe Mode you can disable the overclock most likely.
You’ve cleared the CMOS and repositioned the pins, but the issue persists. You mentioned you didn’t save the overclock, only adjusted values and applied changes. The VGA debug light indicates a problem with the video output. Check connections and ensure the correct port is selected.
Is the RX 580 equipped with a BIOS toggle? It’s conceivable you damaged the VBIOS and flipping it could restore it. After that, you can re-flash the corrupted BIOS once you enter Windows. If you lack a toggle, try borrowing a GPU from another person and see if it boots. How much did you adjust the settings? Were you changing the voltage as well?
Unfortunately, the board doesn’t have a bios switch—it’s an older B350M gaming pro. I didn’t adjust the voltages even though they might have been changed before; the previous owner had already overclocked the GPU. I also don’t have anyone nearby to lend a GPU since I just moved and don’t know anyone with a free one. Maybe I’ll need to take it to a repair shop.
The BIOS switch on the RX 580 is typically positioned differently and may not have a clear label. You might need to search through your card to find it. Repair shops can usually identify it quickly by testing various GPUs, booting systems, and then confirming it's the correct model. They may also offer to update the BIOS for you.
I noticed that after my reply I felt a bit confused, lol. It seems this model doesn’t have a BIOS switch. I actually have a Saphire Pulse RX580 and there are some online forums discussing dual BIOS versions, but mine doesn’t support it. Maybe I should take it to a repair shop. Thanks for all the assistance—it really helps!
