I attempted to update my msi b350 pc mate's bios, and it seemed to be good. I then overclocked my ryzen 5 1500x to 3.75 ghz and my 2400 ram to 2800. I changed both to 1.375v then exitted the bios. The monitor now wont detect the pc and the motherboard's cpu and dram troubleshooting lights are on. Please help if you can! Thanks!

Try resetting the CMOS.

Find the CMOS jumper and short it out, or you can't, just pull the CMOS battery for like a minute then reinstall the battery. It's the round puck looking thing, basically a big watch battery.

EDIT: unplug the computer from the wall or switch off the PSU before you pull the battery so the bios actually loses power.

How would I do that?

If you don't have a CMOS jumper, just remove the CMOS battery, wait a bit, and then put it back on.

I took out the battery as you said, and the cpu and dram leds are off now, but bow the troubleshoot led for boot is on. Nothing is on the screen still.

Yes

Try removing the GPU, plug into the onboard video, repeat the same process, unplug from the wall, remove battery, wait a minute, put battery back in, plug back into the wall and see if you can get a post, droping down to 1 stick of ram can also help here sometimes, just removing extra variables, getting a post at all is priority number 1 right now.

It has no onboard integrated graphics, is that ok?

Ya I didn't think ryzen had onboad but I looked up your board and it showed support so was worth a shot, you can try repeating the process this time remove all your ram and put re-seat 1 stick of ram. Let me know if any changes.

Can always try re-seating the GPU. If you have another GPU handy that could also help later,
