I've accidentally broken my computer

[Kragos]

Hello,

I was following a step by step instructions for overclocking on my computer with the same mother board and cpu. So I changed all my setting to what was shown in the video and then when I rebooted the computer keeps attempting to boot, but a crackling keeps happening and the system dies constantly. How do I fix this?

Try resetting the CMOS

Don't overclock then

Each cpu will need different voltages for different frequencies, you will have to tweak them to get it to work. If it is crackling that is very bad, is it smoking? Unplug it. Also try clearing cmos

"Crackling" is bad.

Sounds like you pushed a little too hard.

Reset the CMOS, learn overclocking properly, then overclock and test properly.

Just putting settings in you found online is a terrible idea.

Every chip is different- learn the technique of overclocking, rather than copying someone elses overclock.

Unplug your computer. Look for a small battery on your motherboard and pull it out. Wait for a few minutes and then pop the battery back in.

There's a small clock battery on the motherboard. If you remove it, the firmware settings (including overclocking) gets reset. You'll need to put it back in, of course.

Look at your MOB manual

Okay, I've reset everything and it is turning back on. I'm going to take the overclocks off for now.

Don't OC it the luck of the draw with CPU's and with new tech already OC automatically soon OC in the main stream will disturber.

And also what cooler are you using ?

Yea that only meant for a very small over clock witch the pc does any way depending on temps.

Try ocing in small steps of 200 mhz, dont go all out and oc it to the max, also the psu that you are using matters, and every single cpu overclocks differently, so called "sillicon lottery".

If the video you watched doesn't have disclaimer saying "DO not use the exact settings I'm using", its very poorly made guide. First rule of overclocking is that every chip and combination is different. Any guide can only give some directions on what you can change and how much.

crackling is one of those situations where you unplug it... that is very very bad

I wouldn't try overclocking on ANY stock cooler.
