Hey, this is my first time posting here so I apologize if this post is absolute <Mod Edit>, but I'm in need of help like hella badly.

A couple years ago, I had bought an Alienware Area-51 R2, and since then, it has worked perfectly fine. Well, one day my dumbass decided to overclock the CPU, so i did (yes, i upped the voltage too). After I overclocked it, i noticed a couple performance issues, so I put it back down to the base clock, used it for about 2 hours, then went to bed. when I woke up, it wouldnt boot, not even to BIOS. I figured I'd check and see if I fried the CPU or some<Mod Edit>, which I didn't. Everything was fine. I noticed a couple bent CPU pins, i fixed them. and yes I've tried a CMOS reset, nothing has worked. I have noticed however a slow, very slow, ticking sound coming from the cooler/cpu area itself though, not sure if that's related or not. I will list my specs below, if any of yall could help, that would be great. Thanks.


Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080
