Hi everyone.
Yesterday I was overclocking my ram, when my pc suddenly stopped working, what did i do exactly? I decreased one of the secondary timings (tCWL) by 2 saved settings and pc booted normally, then i remembered that i also wanted to decrease tRC a little, i restarted pc to enter uefi and that's the last time i saw my pc working.
PC starts, fans are spinning and after about 30 seconds it restarts, no display, no speaker beeps. With unstable timings that ofcourse can happen, but after 3 restarts bios should go back to default settings as it always did, however this time it didn't, i tried to reset bios manually i disconnected all power and i removed cmos battery for about 30 minutes. As you can guess it didn't work.
I don't know if decreasing one timing could suddenly cause permament damage to ram or other components. I have 4 sticks of ram and ofcourse i tried all of them one at a time in different slots, none of the configurations worked. Dram voltage was set to1.4v. I tried some simple diagnosis, i unplugged all unecessary devices, hdd, ssds, fans, replaced gpu to rule that one out. I reassembled entire pc outside of the case, checked cpu for bent pins and lastly i checked psu with multimeter, it's almost 5 years old so why not, voltages i got were 12.42, 5.25 and 3.47 for 12v, 5v, 3.3v respectively, are those good enough?
The speaker is working correctly when i unplug all ram sticks it gives me 3 short beeps, but with any stick in any slot it is silent. Maybe the problem is that i have 2 different pairs of ram, both hyperx fury, but one pair is 2400mhz and the other 2666mhz and after i oc'ed them something went wrong?
I will need to get some 100% working ram to be sure, but if it is not ram then either motherboard or cpu. Just asking to be sure, maybe i missed something. Do you guys have any ideas?
My spec:
Ryzen 5 3600 4300mhz 1.3v
Asrock B450 Pro4 newest bios 4.80
4x4gb hyperx fury
Gainward gtx 1660 super
Thermaltake smart se 530w
Cpu, mb and gpu are almost 2 years old, the rest around 4/5 years old.
