Overclocked BCLK frequency, now having problems. LF someone to help :)

[Mattkinson117]

Hey people,

I have a problem, I decided i should make an account here to get some help.

I was in the bios, trying to push it further and changed the bclk frequency to 140 from 100.

I changed everything to the same settings that had been running smooth; so for my CPU it's at 4.5g and the memory 1866 (with the changed bclk frq) but it broke...

The symptoms are: restarting randomly once logged in, settings not applying in bios, it froze but i could still use the mouse just extremely slow (mem?).

The bios seems buggy, some settings don't change, and they appear twice in the save screen etc so my gut feeling is it's the MB?

Don't have specifics atm, would appreciate it if you could tell me what to do so i can find the problem and solve it seeing as I wouldn't want to damage it further.

I ran some memtests and it is showing errors, one test showed 3 the other over 2k.

Specs:
Proc - Intel 4820k
Fan - Noctua NH-D14 SE 2011
Ram - G.Skill Sniper F3-1866C9D-16GSR
PSU - Corsair Builder Series CXM 750W
MB - Asus Sabertooth X79 Motherboard Socket 2011
SSD - HyperX 120GB SATA3 3K
HDD - WD 1TB 3.5 Caviar Blue
GPU - Asus GTX 770
SC - Creative OEM PCI-E Sound Blaster Z

Feel free to ask questions, and thanks in advance for any help

It's a good idea not to change the BLK frequency ever, changing it changes the clock for the connections between your motherboard to PCI lanes, memory slots etc. (basically). Not a good idea and will cause crashes and errors etc. Unless you find a good spot but they're not usually very big changes.

You'll have to reset your Bios settings, (note: if you have any RAID arrays they'll be reset as well and all settings lost) Since you seem not able to change it back in the Bios settings.
Just turn off your Power supply, pull out the small battery on your motherboard. Wait 30 secs then put it back in. Reset.

-good luck

Actually I can change it back, and have done. I have also reset the bios via the battery (I thought it might fix the small bugs) but I still get crashes and freezes. Should have mentioned that in OP my bad. By some settings don't change i mean i overclocked my CPU after incident and when i logged on to windows and used cpuid and cpu-z it showed up as unchanged from factory (3.7 turbo 3.9). So I still believe something is damaged 🙁

When I disabled TurboBoost with overclock at 4.5G it was 3.7G in OS and didn't change under stress. I enabled it after reset and the reading was a constant 4.5G... I suspect the bios interface is showing false information? if that's possible?
