Massive overvoltage on new cpu

So, today I got a new cpu (ryzen 5 2600) and installed it pretty easily. As soon as I turned my pc on I saw an American Megatrends screen saying I've changed my cpu and that the voltage is too high. (Runs at 2.4-2.8V)

 

Any ideas how to fix this, lmk.

Remove the CMOS battery and reset the BIOS, see if that fixes it. 

Thanks for the reply, I've already these things multiple times. Unless I did it wrong. CMOS is the battery in between of the IO and CPU right?

It'll be a silver (button cell style) battery about 2cm in diameter. I'm sure you've done it right but just to check, did you remove the battery, turn off your power supply hold the power on button on your case and then leave the battery remove for 10-20 minutes before re installing? 

 

Assuming you have done it correctly, its possible your power supply is causing the issues. Do you have another one that you could install and test with?

I've tried a different power supply and I've left the battery out for like 20-30 minutes, and yes I unplugged the power plug from the pc itself

Interesting, will your motherboard allow you to manually underclock your cpu?

I'm not sure if thats even possible, I have an ASUS PRIME A320M-K. I can't find any videos on how to and I think you mean undervolting since the clock is regular

Sorry yes that's what I meant, and that kind of makes sense as you cant overclock on it so no reason to be able to control voltages. I assume you're on the latest BIOS?

Yes I have updated my BIOS twice, tried with 1 ram stick and a lot more

i think i just need to get a whole new motherboard since i probably broke some stuff since i didnt have any anti static stuff or discharged myself, and was using magnetic screwdrivers if that matters. the cpu itself is not the problem, not the psu, not the ram. all that is left is the motherboard itself.

 

i was thinking of getting a Gigabyte GA-A320M-H since im rlly broke rn

what psu? Usuallu 5V and 3.3V and 12V voltagaes are handled by the psu and cpu voltage by the motherboard.

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

I tried a different PSU, but I found out the voltage regulators are broken. I'm just gonna get a new motherboard since thats easiest

also ^ i saw someone on youtube with the same issue and he was just using a heat gun to reseat the voltage regulator and it worked for him
