I Can't Undo my BIOS settings!

[ViolentBoo]

Hello! I switched a few parts for my PC and it I booted into windows just fine. But when I went to over clock my ram it wont post anymore. I tried shorting my two pins to restart the BIOS settings but it won't work! Here's what happend and here are the parts!

 

AMD Ryzen 5 1600

ASUS PRIME B450 - PLUS

16GB of GSKILL 3600MHZ CL 16 RAM

GTX 1070 ZOTAC

500 GB SAMSUNG m.2 SSD

1TB Caviar Black

4TB Caviar Blue

 

I Booted into windows just fine installed updated new BIOS, after that rebooted, went into BIOS to increase memory frequncy to 3000mhz, worked fine, tried 3600mhz and it started to boot loop, which is fine because I could still acsess the BIOS, after that I turned it down to 3466mhz (I think it's somewhere around there) and now I don't get a post screen! I tried shorting the two pins to restart the BIOS and it wouldn't work! I also tried taking out the CMOS battery and putting it back in and that also didn't work! I really need some help I've been on this for hours!

When you took out the CMOS battery, did you also UNPLUG the PSU cable from the wall?

No power needs to be going to the motherboard...leave the battery + PSU unplugged for ~5 minutes, and try again.

 

Even with using the 2 CLRTC pins, you still need to turn off the computer, and unplug the power card...as per the 4-step instructions...in the motherboard manual.

I've tried using some old sticks of ram, my idea was that it would detect new hardware and then restart but that didn't work, as for the cmos battery, I've unplugged the system yes when removing but I didn't wait five minutes like you said, I will be updating soon to see if that fixed it,

Unfortunently the CMOS idea didnt' work, any other ideas?

Clearing the CMOS should have done the trick.

Did you try with removing the CMOS battery, or did you short the two pins?

 

What were old stick of RAM  that you had?

Were they also DDR4?

 

Did you tweak the DRAM voltage, or did you leave it alone?

I am afraid you *might* have damaged something...

Either or a combination of motherboard, CPU, or RAM.

 

Have you tried to see if it will boot with ONE stick of RAM?
