So my brand new Ryzen 3 2200G rig got a bluescreen (a common problem I've been experiencing throughout the last 2 weeks) and after that it will either boot right away or boot after 2-3 tries, with the EZ Debug LED CPU lit. It still boots up with no signal to the screen. Is the CPU or the motherboard broken?

PC Specs:
Motherboard: MSI B450 Gaming PLUS
CPU: Ryzen 3 2200G OC @ 3.73 GhZ
GPU: Intergrated Vega Graphics OC @ 1400 MhZ
Ram: HyperX Pretador 3000 MhZ (dual channel)
PSU: Corsair VS550 (80+ silver)

Thats what I was thinking ,but at the end I thought it would be a good idea to play safe and remove the CPU, only to see that I have no spare thermal compound. Yet I am way too curious about how the overclock could have fried the vega chip after 2 weeks of stability, while I went way too soft at it (as I've seen way too many users overclocking the CPU at 2.9 GhZ and the graphics at 1900 MhZ).
