Computer Pretty Messed Up

[TheticDuck]

Hello! I built my own PC around August of 2020, and it had been running great for a while, until I decided to update my bios. After I updated my bios, I think my motherboard proceeded to brick itself. My computer will occasionally shut itself off, but that's the smallest of the issues. My SSD and HDD no longer appear on my startup boot; it's either one or the other. On startup, the PC will flicker between a black screen and my background. When the PC does shut down, it gives me a message saying that the overclock settings have failed, but I have not overclocked my computer in any way, unless you consider XMP overclock. Another odd thing that happens is that my computer shuts off when I join my Calculus II class, but it's ONLY during that class, none of my other classes. I've browsed the internet for about a month now and have found absolutely nothing about my issue, so I'm hoping that someone here will be able to help me.

Have you checked the Event Viewer

And checked if any components are loose inside

It's not bricked yet.

 

Hello and welcome to the forum! 

 

Please post your full system specs and any other pertinent information like bios revision number. 

 

To start, yes xmp is considered an overclock. 

 

You can reset the settings of your bios by clearing the cmos.  This is usually done by unplugging the power cord to the wall then removing the cmos battery then holding the power button down for a few seconds and then waiting an amount of time.  Reinstall the battery, plug it in and power it up.

Yes, nothing shows up in Event Viewer after it crashes. I've also checked to make sure nothing is loose, and it isn't.

My BIOS version is American Megatrends Inc. A.C1, 12/25/2020

Sorry about the late reply, college keeps me decently busy. The PC had been running okay for a little, until I got a BSOD a couple days ago. Nothing shows up in Event Viewer, which is odd; it only tells me that the system was shut off.
