Black screen after ram overclock

[i360Fantasy]

I followed a YouTube tutorial to overclock my RAM and I pretty much followed the correctly and then I saved and rebooted, now it's just a black screen. I am currently leaving the PC on should I turn it off?

turn it off

remove the cmos battery

Even better, since modern motherboard may still retain the settings and may not really like being without a battery, just search for the location of the jumper to reset the BIOS on the motherboard manual

Overclocking your RAM is not as simple as following a youtube video and changing all your settings to match theirs. Every single RAM kit is different, they will use different timings, different voltages. Speaking of timings, you should at least research and understand what your Primary RAM timings do. Cause there is no way you will ever be able to get a legit stable OC on your RAM without understanding them.

 

Reset your PC by clearing CMOS. Look at your motherboard owners manual to find out how.

I already tried spamming delete to get into the BIOS. The mouse and keyboard does not even power on.

Ok thanks. I will probably never overclock ram again.

If the clear cmos did not help then maybe try with one memory stick in either slots.

Uhhh I don't know what this answer is for, but as I said, grab your motherboard manual, search for how to reset the BIOS, it should be a jumper on the motherboard somewhere

[ZephCloud]

maybe you could list all the parts in the system then we'll check the manual together..xD

Don't worry, RAM OC gives you the least performance benefit. While also being the most difficult to properly set up. You would be much better off just using your RAM XMP profile.

CPU and GPU's are much much easier to play with compared to RAM. Try those first before you even touch your RAM.

I have my case reset button connected to my clr_cmos button until I am happy with settings and BIOS version.

I have got the manual but I'll list the parts.

 

Gpu: Gigabyte RX 570

RAM: Corsair vengence 2x8GB 3000Mhz

Motherboard: MSI B450 GAMING PLUS ATX

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600

Power supply: Corsair TX550M

So it will just reset the BIOS not windows 10 and get rid of all my program ect. Sorry for the noob question. When I first booted up my PC my RAM is running at 2133mhz and I had to change it in the BIOS will I have to do that again?

I have overclocked my GPU multiple times before but not my CPU. People told me not to overclock my CPU because if you make a small mistake you could burn it out. I think its harder to burn out your GPU.

I have the MSI b450 gaming plus motherboard and I know there's a BIOS button, can I just click that to reset it?

Should be as easy as click on reset to default. Save  Reboot.

 Also I didn't match the settings. The guy suggested I download a program which gave the ram timings for you. Here's the video link

I can't use my keyboard and mouse though they don't even turn on for some reason.

basically it'll only reset the bios settings you've made..some motherboard has a cmos reset button like the msi x570 meg ace which do the same thing without you having to touch the internal..
