I tried to oc my r5 1600 and now my monitor says it’s getting no signal and my peripherals aren’t getting power

So uhh, I decided to overclock my ryzen cpu and I used the ryzen master program. I upped the frequency to 3.8 GHz and the voltage to 1.38750 (According to a Paul’s Hardware video, it should be a pretty safe overclock for a 1600) and had to restart my PC. Now it’s not really doing anything. The motherboard is showing a different light than usual, which I assume is a post error? But shouldn’t it prompt me to change the settings in the BIOS rather than just saying “No signal”? Or is it just cycling and it’s just a matter of time?

 

Mobo: ASUS ROG B350-F Gaming

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 (w/ stock cooler)

GPU: gtx 1060 6gb

Restart in safe mode, the OC didn't work. Ryzen master is applying it on startup and keeping the boot from happening.

I’ve tried turning it on and off again, even shutting it off on the PSU. Is there a button on the mobo for a safe mode boot?

clear the CMOS

try to no overclock a Ryzen and touching voltages with the stock cooler, it doesn't work that way

pull cmos battery, start it, let it go for a minute, shut it down, and restart, repeat and it should go to safe settings. Also "safe voltages" are ill defined

So after clearing the cmos, i should just avoid messing with the voltage and only change the frequency? Also thanks guys

Just beware if you don't know how to check and aren't interested in figuring it out

Managed to get it at 3.8GHz and the RAM  at 2993 MHz on the bios, just stress testing it on aida64 now. If it’s been 81-82°C for the past 10 minutes, it should be alright, no? I’m stress testing the gpu (it’s constantly at 64°C with 37% fan speed) at the same time, if it matters.
