Here are my PC's specs:
Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-6800K Processor (6x 3.40GHz/15MB L3 Cache)
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H55 120mm Liquid CPU Cooler
Memory: 64 GB RAM [16 GB x4 DDR4-3200 Memory Module]
GPU: GTX 1080 MSI GAMING x 2 (Dual Cards with EVGA SLI Bridge)
Motherboard: MSI X99A Gaming Pro Carbon (4x PCIe x16, 2x USB 3.1 Gen 2, 4x USB 3.1 Gen 1, 4x USB 2.0 - Mystic Light RGB LED, Steel Armor PCI-Express Slots 3)
Power Supply: 1000 Watt EVGA 1000 GQ
Primary Hard Drive: 512GB Samsung 950 PRO M.2 PCI-E SSD
Secondary Drive: 1 TB HARD DRIVE
I don't know much about overclocking so I decided to use MSI's inbuilt "gaming boost" option to automatically overclock my i7 6800k. There are 11 presets and even with the preset set to 1 -- the lowest possible oc setting -- I run into this problem where the PC will not boot up... It does not even load the bios (the monitor gets no signal). After spamming the physical reset button on the motherboard over and over, I eventually get a message saying the overclock has failed, press f2 to return the motherboard to default settings. I tried updating/flashing the bios to a newer version as well, but this didn't help either. So what could be causing this? As far as I understand, voltage is automatically changed for you with the presets as well (correct me if I'm wrong) so that shouldn't be a problem either. So what do you recommend that I do?
Also, I currently have xmp set to enabled. It doesn't seem to cause any issues so I've left it on. Could that be the problem?
