I dam broke it

[Supercteature]

So I'm a bit of an idiot and have no idea what I'm doing. I got two new memory modules and installed them. They worked fine ish but were running under speed. Went into the bios and tried to change the speed. It didn't work and actually dropped the speed down. I also tried to oc my cpu while I was at it and that didn't work either so after reverting the change and fiddling with the ram settings some more I restarted once more and it wasn't hating it this time I couldn't get in the bios to reset it. I then for some stupid reason pressed the bios flash button not understanding exactly what it does. Due to a lack of patience and nothing happening I restarted to pc again this time it wasn't doing anything at all. Before it was running thought the boot sequence and failing so restarting. It was then that I took to the Internet to try to solve the problem. I have tried restarting again but didn't think it was going to work and it didn't. Finally I tried removing the cmos battery and that got it to the point where it would run the boot sequence again but is stuck on vga. Searching a little more I tried the bios flash button again and this time I left it alone to do its thing. As of now I have been sitting here for about 10 - 15 minutes and nothing has changed. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem I have made. Any help would be appreciated. I have an msi b450 motherboard btw.

So your RAM is at the default clocks and you want to run the advertised clocks?

Have you tried turning on DOCP/XMP?

 

What are your full system specs and specs of the new kit?

Yes that is what I was doing but that isn't the issue anymore. I can't even get into the bios now

you say you tried the BIOS Flash button....

 

Did you have a USB Stick with the BIOS on it?

If you aren't getting POST, reset the CMOS again.

When rebooting, do not be impatient. You may find your mainboard is re-training the RAM config and needs time.

No I did not. I didn't know what it did

without a USB Stick with the BIOS that button doesn't do anything.

 

So, you've been doing a lot of "troubleshooting" without knowing what most of it does.

 

Your best bet is to try to clear the CMOS again:

Unplug the power supply
Remove the CMOS Battery

Hold the power button on the PC in for ~30 seconds.

Put battery back

plug in power supply

 

Cross your fingers, and try to turn on the PC again.

I'm not even getting past the boot sequence. It's suck on the vga light

Okay is is giving me a cmos cleared, cpu or ram changed message. F1 for run setup. F2 for load default settings. Which one is best?

[tkitch]

Start with Default Settings for now.

 

You can tweak, but I'd suggest doing some more learning online before fucking it up again.

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. I will not be doing my stupidity again
