Need help

[FinestRyeBread]

So I'm ocing my fx 8350 I changed stuff like the voltage to 1.4v and the cpu ratio to 23 (to get 4.6ghz) when I went to save the settings and restarted it but now it can't boot. What's wrong? It would turn on then turn off in a couple of seconds and nothing shows up on the screen

Probably too high clock.

how do I change it? I can't even get into the bios? I'm using the asus sabertooth 990fx r2.0

You need to reset the BIOS in the clear CMOS jumper.

If doesn't even turn on,try taking out the battery and putting it back in

Or this (I have a very old motherboard without pretty buttons...)

You need to change the position of this jumper for like 5 seconds, and put it back to the other position again, its labeled as CLR_CMOS or CCMOS

Some new mobos also have a button, that is easier to use, you just need to press it.

how do I do that?

find your motherboard manual and see if you have a reser cmos button. if you don't have one open your pc and look on the motherboard for something that looks like a watch battery

it should look something like this

take out the battery, wait for like 10 seconds then put it back in. your bios should be reset

 

 

Don't know if I have to say it but, do this with the pc unplugged from the wall

 

edit:

here's a guide from asus
