Help I Screwed Up

[wietro2]

I was testing benchmarks and I wanted to try and see the absolute best my PC could do.

Forgive my stupidity, but I cranked up my Ryzen 5 1600 from 3.2ghz to 3.9ghz and changed my RAM speed from 2400mhz to 3200mhz (all of these by the way were supported as preinstalled options in the BIOS). Because of this now my computer wont boot I cant even access the BIOS and I have no Idea what to do.

Dose anyone know if there could be hope for my computer? Or have I broken it beyond repair?

I have a AMD Ryzen 5 1600, MSI Radeon RX 480, and an MSI B350 Gaming Plus.

Probably not broken.  Can you remove the CMOS battery?  Disconnect the computer from power and leave it out for 30 seconds then try and boot.

Try to reset your CMOS first to clear out the settings you changed. Here is a snippet from the manual for the MSI B350 Gaming Plus.

Pretty much what the other members said.Clearing out the CMOS will reset BIOS settings and your computer should boot up just fine.More than likely,the issue was the memory being unstable at that speed.When it comes to overclocking,take it slow and increase the numbers in small increments so you know what's the most your computer can safely handle.

Thank you! The battery popped right out and the BIOS settings were reset.

This!  Also, do 1 thing at a time.  Don't change both CPU and memory settings and then reboot.  You won't be able to tell if a problem is memory or cpu related.
