Overclock help please

[theboys4]

Hi guys so I have a Ryzen 1700 with 2400mhz ram I tried to overclock the ram to 2800mhz but now my PC won't boot up is there anyway I can fix this? It restarted itself like it usually does after I change settings but it then stops restarting and I the display won't come on.

Try resetting the CMOS using the jumpers or by removing the CMOS battery.

How do I do that?

Your motherboard manual should show you where the jumpers are located. Here's Intel's guide: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000025368/processors.html

Agree, with smoochie, and add, DON'T do that with your ram again! There's a reason why its rated at 2400mhz. That's not to say you can't get a bin level higher, as in 2666 or so, but it takes a lot of tricking around, changing voltages, allowing timings to go very loose. Don't just dial in settings and hope for the best.
