Need help with my Ram

So I watched some videos on youtube about getting your ram to advertised speeds. I checked mine after rebooting my pc and mashing delete. It was only running at low 1000's. So I switched it to 3400 something. I actually forget the exact speed but i figured it'd start there and see if it was stable. I have an amd 3700x with the 2070 super. My ram is 3600 mhz. I changed it and it saved and rebooted. Now it wont turn back on it just sits there idle with the rgb lights on but nothing's popping back up. I'm confused what to do now. Really new to overclocking and working with these settings. Any help is greatly appreciated ty....

What motherboard are you using?  I would expect a motherboard that fails to train memory would revert back to safe RAM settings and alert you to the failure.  

 

So expecting that behavior -- how long have you let it attempt to POST?

 

Also, you should enable DOCP/XMP before simply changing speeds.  If you don't set an appropriate DRAM voltage then you're gonna run into the problem you're seeing.

It's the msi 570 edge wifi. I deff did not do that before this. Any idea how to get it back on? 

You need to clear your bios settings, either by pulling the power and the BIOS battery out, or by shorting its reset pins with a jumper, or pressing the bios clear button if you have one

I'm an IT System Admin with 15+ years worth of XP, plus I've been tinkering computers since I was old enough to hold a screwdriver, so I usually know what I'm talking about.

Yeah that should  might do the trick. Not sure if you need to pull the AC plug out before you do it or not. Try both, and hold it down for 30 seconds.

 

Or read the manual if you're feeling sensible :P

NOOOOOO.  That's the wrong button.  Lemme look at your manual real quick.

NN is right. Not that button, it has a jumper to reset option.

Resetting BIOS You might need to restore the default BIOS setting to solve certain problems. There are several ways to reset BIOS: yGo to BIOS and press F6 to load optimized defaults. y Short the Clear CMOS jumper on the motherboard. Important Be sure the computer is off before clearing CMOS data. Please refer to the Clear CMOS jumper section for resetting BIOS.

You need to clear you CMOS using the jumper if the computer has become unresponsive.  Use something metal to touch both pins at the same time.  Touch it a couple times.  Screw driver head, paper clip, butter knife tip, etc.

Well shit I pressed that flash bios button. Hope that didnt do anything. I'm having a really hard time finding the right spot to jump that cmos. Im looking up youtube videos as well and it's not giving me a clear spot to look.

Get a flashlight and look above the third PCIe slot at the far right by the release.  It's gonna be two metal pins so it's going to be small.

Another update is booted up good I pressed f2 to go to normal settings and it's back on no red lights. I really dont know yet the right stuff to use to check my cpu gpu and ram. Right now my computer has nzxt cam and I'm looking at it now. Everything looks normal to me. I appreciate the help. Still gonna try and figure out how to get my ram off 1066 mhz. But thought it would be a little more simple lol

In your BIOS you enable XMP/DOCP.  It's that simple.  Well it's supposed to be.
