I overclocked my DDR4 3000MHz corsair vengance ram. When my computer tried rebooting to apply the changes it shut off power to my moniter and mouse and keyboard but the computer is still running. I tried clicking the reset button after waiting a while and nothing happened to i held the power button until it shut off. Turned it back on and no power to mouse or display or keyboard still. Im including a picture of what Ryzen calculator told me to use and what i set my ram specs to in the bios.

DRAM Calculator settings are just RECCOMMENDATIONS.

It is NOT guaranteed to be stable / working.

 

Yup, you just have to clear the CMOS; unstable RAM overclock.

 

Your motherboard has a set of Clear CMOS pins.

You don't NEED to remove the battery.

Make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall socket, though, otherwise the motherboard is still getting stand-by power.

The CMOS won't get cleared.

AKA follow the steps outlined in the motherboard manual exactly.

Have you tried to get into the BIOS and declock your ram that way? There should be a button at the splash screen of the brand you bought. It'll say which button you need to press. Proceed from there.

RYZEN 5800X

ASUS B550M (WIFI)

GTX 1060 6G

3200 MHZ RAM

RM650 PSU

256G SATA SSD

1TB NVM.E SSD

3TB 5400 WD HDD

I can't because my computer is not showing any video or outputting power to my keyboard and mouse.
