I tried OCing my RAM last night and now it's stuck in a boot loop. If I shut off the PSU for about a minute then power it on again, I get a screen saying "Overclock Failed! Press F1 to configure." Pressed F1 and got a missing operating system error. There's a solid red light next to the MemOK button if that helps. Thanks for the support.

What did you do to try and overclock?

Are you sure that you didn't kill your RAM? Try clearing your CMOS.

I'm a bit hesitant of clearing the CMOS because I'm using the built-in RAID controller for a RAID 0 array

Do you have a switch to use a backup bios on your board? You ram sounds damaged. 

 

I have the Z97-A/USB 3.1, where would the switch be located?

Ah yeah. I don't mess with RAID, so I can't help you there. Maybe swap your RAM to different slots?

Do you have any other ram slots? Try to put those rams in differend slots, or remove one of the ram stick. It might confuse system a bit, to set ram to defult values.

Otherwise CMOS is the only solution, but as you said, that will be problem since you are using RAID conf.

Just tried the MemOK button again and I got an American Megatrends screen, I'll update if anything goes wrong. Thanks for all the help!

Okay so I fixed the boot loop, had to flip an EZ_XMP switch but I'm still stuck on the "Missing operating system" error
