System wont boot anymore

[Matt115]

I dont know how to or if I can overclock my ram. Here is my build. My pc keeps blue screening on startup. I set the ram to 2933 or something then it didnt boot, so i reset it. It is still not booting. Thanks

You need to clear CMOS Set ram at 2133 Update the bios. And retry

Drop memory speed to 2666 or 2400. Your chip might not like the higher speed memory at stock voltages.

Reset cmos

[Matt115]

Ok everyone ive reset cmos multiple times, everything is default, looks fine, still wont boot

[Carbide X]

maybe because you damaged the ram by trying to overclock it, put new ram sticks or borrow some ram sticks from a friend to test it

[Matt115]

PC gets “server exception error” every time I start it

My new pc was going great. I tried changing the target speed on the ram in bios. Didnt work. Back to default settings. Didnt work. Ive tried clearing cmos multiple times. Is it corrupted ram and what do i do thanks.

What does "didn't work" mean? Fans not spinning up? No post?

you will also have to adjust the voltages and the timings for it to run at the rated speed

Years ago it was possible to corrupt your cmos, they were replaceable. No clue if it's that way now on ryzen

What did the blue screen say? It would have given you a specific error message, eg "Bad_pool_caller"

Disconnect the PSU from the power cord to the wall. Remove the RAM. Pull the CMOS battery out. Hold down on the power button for 10-12 seconds. Put the RAM back in. Make a bootable USB with MemTest86 on it (a bootable Ubuntu distro works as well, as they include MT86). Boot to MT86 and let it run overnight. If you truly do have corrupt RAM, it will start throwing errors. If you don't, it will look fine in the morning, and the CMOS reset will likely have taken care of everything.

 

Now, it's entirely possible that something happened to corrupt Windows. That's a different fix. If you can get into Windows, open an elevated command prompt and type:

 

sfc /scannow

 

If you can't get into Windows, you'll have to reinstall through boot media. If you set it up as an upgrade installation, it won't wipe out your files.

Pretty sure its messed up ram going to buy some more and see

Pretty sure it's AID's

 

Anyways, changing a setting in bios isn't likely to cook a stick of ram unless you threw some crazy voltage at it.  I would focus on ensuring your computer is running within spec before buying a new product.

 

edit: it is also far more likely that you corrupted your OS data with a bad clock than damaged your ram.

Have you run MemTest86 yet? It's pretty hard to randomly kill RAM unless one of the sticks was bad when you bought it, and you can save yourself the hassle of a return by using MT86 to troubleshoot.
