Endless restart loop after 40 Mhz overclock attempt

[shadorunner12]

Hi guys

After I tried to overclock my 8350 by only 40 bloody Mhz, my PC has decided to go on an endless restart loop for my enjoyment. Here´s what happens every time:

1. ASrock screen after normal power on

2. Normal Win 8 loading screen with no stuttering or anything

3. Logon screen as normal

4. As soon as I type into the password box the computer craps itself and restarts

5. ASrock screen

6. Win 8 loading screen, but with the spinning thing being replaced by a ´Please Wait´ message. Like I can do anything else.

7. A light blue screen appears, asking if I want to repair. Of course I do. I click the repair button and it restarts.

8. And the vicious cycle continues!

PC Specs: (I´m very proud of them so pls don't h8 fam)

- AMD FX 8350 CPU

- ASrock 990FX Extreme6 Mobo

- 8GB 1866 Mhz Corsair Dominator RAM

- Gigabyte Windforce GTX 970 Gaming G1 GPU

- Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler

- 240GB Kingston SSD

- 500GB Seagate HDD

- 800W Hiditec Iron PSU

That should be it I think.

Any suggestions as to how I may recuperate from my pathetic endeavour to overlock my CPU (that´s SUPPOSED TO BE OVERCLOCKED EASILY) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hiditec Iron? made in China from left-over Lada Rivas? i'd be pointing my fingers at that.

Reset the cmos using the clr cmos jumpgate switch.

Hi

I couldn´t find a switch or button so i took out the CMOS battery and held the power button for 20 seconds. Didn´t work. I also tried resetting the UEFI to default setting which didn't work either

I know i thought it was dodgy at first too but I've never had any problems with it. Any ideas?

considering the quality and value of the rest of the system...? i dunno, buy a power supply that isn't made from rusty nails?

UPDATE

For some reason bringing down the North Bridge frequency from 11x to 2x fixed it. I'm typing this from my PC and not my phone so it feels good.
