Question AMD Overclocking disables M.2 Drive

[MrGeek1979]

Hello,

Not sure if Im posting this in the right spot, so please forgive me if I am...

I have an interesting problem that i am puzzled by... I was doing some light overclocking on my system to see if I can improve some performance while video editing. At stock, my CPU runs at 3.1GHz, I was trying to take it up a little to 3.5GHz, but in doing so, my M.2 hard drive (which is my boot drive) does not detect. So I would like some suggestions?

My system specs:
Gigabyte B450M-DS3H board
AMD Ryzen 3 1200 Quad Core CPU
16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 Ram
KingDian 120GB M.2 Drive (Windows Boot)
Western Digital 1TB Sata Drive (For Storage)

I will not be able to shed some light on this behavior, but have a similar issue.
Asus X570 TUF Gaming
AMD Ryzen 3700X
16GB G.skill 3600cl16
Adata Gammix S5 128Gb Nvme

I was able to install Windows on it, It crashed after some minutes and corrupted the installation, since then I was not able to install Windows on it. It is found in BIOS but not by the Windows installation or Windows itself when connected as a non-boot drive. Tried partition apps none of them was able to find it.
Not sure if its related to OC, I was running all on Auto. I still need to give the SSD somebody to check.

Are you trying to overclock via BCLK or CPU multiplier?

CPU multiplier in the BIOS, I was attempting to go from 3.1GZHz to 3.5GHz
