Stuck in Preparing Automatic Repair

[BenGill]

Hi,

I've previously overclocked my CPU to 4.9ghz and it ran fine but the temps were a little high so I took it down to 4.7ghz where its been running perfectly for 2 weeks.

I was getting around 67°C max so I thought I could get 4.8ghz out of it. I went into my bios and did this - now my pc says its diagnosing every time and it won't boot. I've completely reverted my oc back to stock, ive cleared cmos, its still not working. Could anyone help me please?

 

i5 9600K

MSI RTX 2060

MSI Z390 Gaming Edge AC

16gb Crucial Ballistix 3200

Corsair CX 550

BeQuiet Pure Rock Slim CPU Cooler

Not an expert, but thermal paste might be done after high temperatures caused by overclocking...

Worst case scenario CPU died.

 

Switch PC off, unplug power cord and drain any left overs by holding power button for a minute or whatever it takes...

At first it would boot by going into advanced settings and boot from another drive on the diagnosing page.  And the temps really weren't very high at all, ive never seen them above 77. I've tried all that

Oh maybe it's the drive to blame then, corrupted during unexpected shutdown, try booting from linux live USB.

Or use installation media and do startup repair...
