Overclocked, now no video signal

[RedCobra1246]

Hello,

I am in a situation that I should have avoided considering I'm not an expert..but here it is..
I was playing around on the asus software with my i7 4790k on my Asus Maximus VI Formula, I changed the base (?) frequency of the cpu from 100MHz to 125MHz, the program asked me to reboot the computer to apply the changes...now the computer boots, all USB ports work, I just don't have video signal...
The CPU was setup to be running at 4.6GHz before changing...so if you switch from 100 x 46 to 125 x 46, it's 5.75GHz...and I believe that's what caused the problem...
The motherboard gives an error code 99, the computer shuts off instantly when I press the power button. I tried switching to my integrated graphics, but nothing..
I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions? Maybe to reset the bios settings?

I pressed on the cycle symbol button behind the motherboard, I believe that's the CMOS, but it didn't fix it...I disconnected my SSD and connected my old HDD that still has windows installed, but no signal...I'll try to remove the gpus now, but I'd like some feedback

Hi,
Try unplugging the power cord and removing the CMOS battery for a minute or using the CLR CMOS jumper (check the board's manual)

Alexiou, I removed my gpus and I now have video signal. I'll try to reset the settings and get back to you

Ok.

So I removed the GPUs, Windows booted from my secondary drive, then fixed the primary and got my gpus back in...I don't know how but it fixed itself...I was going to do that before removing the CMOS battery because my motherboard has an armor and it's painful to remove. Either way, it's working now...very glad my screw up didn't cost me anything.
Thank you for being available though, alexoiu, appreciate it

Ps: I really don't understand how overclocking the CPU made my GPU fail...

Edit: after using the computer for a while, I realized that the BIOS works with the integrated graphics (only when I remove my gpus), but not with the gpus...the computer boots up normally (gets to the windows login page), but I don't get any video signal when it shows "press f2 for BIOS" and not even the Windows loading screen..not sure why is that

No problem. Glad you've solved it.
