Overclocking gone wrong.

Yesterday i tried to overclock my cpu and it was stable at 4.3 ghz. I thought that i would just add in another 0,1 ghz today and then my pc began to crash. Now i have reset it back to 4 ghz but it still keeps crashing. Help guys. I thought this was safe to do.

Set bios to default settings again.

Was safe if you know what you are doing. Did you change any voltage on your cpu?

Set bios to default settings again.

How do i do that? I have a gigabyte gaming 3 skylake.

Your bios has different tabs probably. One of the last tabs you have has the "Exit and save" button and some more buttons. Usually there is also a button that says "reset to default settings" or something alike.

Try setting it back to 1.285

I found a button that i think resets it. Now i will try to use pc again and see if it still crashes. I don't think im going into overclocking again in the future though. At least im not if i dont need it desperately ;D

Can a pc crash if it has amd graphics card but Nvidia Physx installed. Because i just discovered that i have physx installed.

Yea overclocking for the first time alone isn't a good idea.

Err, sorry for the late answer, was at work, but I'm not sure.

Shorting CMOS with a screwdriver will reset BIOS as well.
