So, last night I tried overclocking my PC to Frequency 0 and Voltage 1. I believe I also turned on that setting that makes game play better but reduces idle power (I don't remember the name of the setting, something like "CPUcom"? I'm not sure.) After turning my PC off and on again, the monitor I used would not connect to my computer. None of the RGB on my mouse or keyboard lit up, and was unresponsive. I looked at the back, to check all the USB's were okay, and they were. HDMI was plugged into the GPU, which, after looking, came loose while the PC was on. (Not sure is the GPU is broken too.) After putting the GPU back in position, the PC still wouldn't connect to the peripherals. Please help!!
