Hi all, I tried to OC my Ryzen 5 1600 to an embarrassingly high overclock (no over volt, just overclock) and now my computer won't post. The fans spin up, and the motherboard lights up, but there's nothing displayed on the screen, and both the CPU and DRAM EZ-Debug lights are on. I've tried clearing the bios, both by removing the CMOS battery and by using the clear CMOS jumper. Any ideas what I should do next? I doubt I killed my CPU just by trying for a too-high overclock... right? Any help is appreciated! 

 

My specs, for anyone wondering:

Ryzen 5 1600, Cryorig H7 cooler

16 gb Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2667 

MSI B350M Mortar

Corsair 650W Full Modular Gold-Rated PSU

Everything I know I learned from the internet. Also school. 

 

Current Desktop:

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 @3.65 ghz, Cryorig H7

MoBo: Asus Prime X470-Pro

GPU: Gigabyte RTX 2060 Super OC

RAM: 2x8 gb Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 @2666mhz

PSU: 650W EVGA SuperNova

Case: Corsair Carbide 100R

Peripherals: Logitech G Pro keyboard, Razer DeathAdder Elite, Logitech G305, Logitech G600, 24" AOC FreeSync 1080p monitor x2

Got it fixed. Thanks! Turns out I seated the RAM incorrectly when I took everything apart and put it back together, and now my idiocy is on the internet for everyone to see. xD
