PC not booting after failed overclock

[SCastanedaMunoz]

Attempted to get my brother into overclocking his PC. I have done it on the past, but while testing multiple setups the PC stopped booting.

 

Here are the specs:

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700x

GPU: NVIDIA Geforce RTX 2070

MOBO: Gygabyte x470 Aorus Ultra

RAM: Ballixtics DDR4 2400 Mhz (Base Speed)

SSD: ADATA SU630 
 

The main problem is that the PC turns on, but there's never signal of it getting into the BIOS or the OS. This is what I have attempted so far:

1. Clear the BIOS - By using the CLR_CMOS jumper and Removing the BIOS Battery.

2. Removed Graphics Card since it is not an essential item for the pc to boot

3. Removed secondary RAM Stick 

Here is the MOBO Manual : Aorus x470 Ultra Gaming

 

When attempting to boot the machine the Status LEDs go all the way up to boot, but then it stays there. Nothing happens.

 

(Status LEDs) information found in MOBO manual page 21

Any recomendations?

The 3700x does not have integrated graphics, a GPU is 100% essential for it to boot or display anything.

Actually, your graphics card IS essential for the PC to boot. I don't believe a Ryzen 7 3700x has an igpu.

Completely forgot about it, Thanks for the replies!

Place GPU back in, remove all cables going into the tower including monitor. Clear cmos then hold power button for 30 seconds to discharge any remaining power. Plug everything back in, start PC and boot directly into bios. From here find "Load Optimized Defaults", enable and reboot PC. This will remove any overclock settings that were applied. If this does not work then you may have damaged the board.

Out of curiosity what was the last cpu voltage you applied?

Yeah this is the standard procedure I was following to reset the board. At the end it seems it was booting correctly; however no video signal, since I removed the GPU. It's very likely it might already be booting properly, just need to double check the video signal. CPU Voltage was still around default levels for Ryzen 7 3700x. This happened when we were starting to modify actual values.
