PC won't boot after changing RAM frequency

[TuomoDesign]

Alright, so I went to my BIOS and saw that my ram is running at 2400 instead of the 3200 mentioned in the package. Went and changed that manually to 3200 and did a restart and it wouldn't boot anymore. It powers on, fans spin and all but I get no display signal. Everything was working just fine before changing the frequency in the bios.

 

Things I've tried so far:

• Reseat RAM sticks
• Clear CMOS using the pins on the board
• Took out the CMOS battery for few minutes and put it back in
• Booted without any RAM sticks
• Tried with onboard HDMI port instead of the graphics card

Nothing seems to work. What else can I do or am I doomed?

 

Specs:

• Asus PRIME B450-PLUS
• AMD Ryzen 5 3600, AM4, 3.6 GHz, 6-core
• Kingston 16GB (2 x 8GB) HyperX Fury, DDR4 3200MHz, CL16, 1.35V

• Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 WINDFORCE OC rev. 2.0

• Kingston 120GB A400 SSD M.2 2280, SATA III, TLC, 500/320 MB/s

• Seasonic 500W power supply

That wouldn't work in the first place because your CPU doesn't have iGPU.

You can try some other RAM sticks from different PC that definetely work. Lend one from someone or ask service engineers. Try to start your PC with them. If that thing starts, then you have faulty RAM. If not, either MoBo or CPU is busted...

Good luck testing all of that.
