PC won't boot after a change to overclocking, or positive voltage setting on ASUS board.
Back story: blew house circuit breaker with another appliance on same circuit as PC. Fixed circuit, booted PC but it couldn't find SSD (Win10 drive). Went into BIOS and relinked SSD. Buuuuut also changed a setting to a positive offset in board voltage.
Current issue: no BIOS.
What I've already tried: reset BIOS (battery pull and pin movement to reset it). Held (till flashing light blinked rapidly as stated in manual) ASUS MemOK button to reset to factory setting. Took out all RAM and got a solid red LED indicating RAM problem, then inserted one at a time to check each RAM stick (4 of them) with a solid red LED light indicating RAM issue each time.
What do I do?
Current system:
Board: ASUS P8Z77-V LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W BX80637I53570K Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH
SSD: Crucial M4 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT256M4SSD2
 


reset bios with just pin move for 10 secs, not battery as well. power cord out though
 
Actually, I got a solid red LED on the BOOT_DEVICE_LED after I held the MemOK button down and it went through some boot procedures. That's new. I'm going to go back into the manual because I don't know what that means off the top of my head.
 
So I'm at work, but I looked it up and now feel a bit silly not knowing off the top of my head. I unplugged my SSD to narrow down my issue because I should still be able to get into BIOS without a hard drive so I kept it unplugged. Still no display. Funny thing though, this morning was the first time my board recognized there wasn't a hard drive attached with the OS. I've tried both HDMI out ports this morning already and neither gave me a display. Tonight I could remove the graphics card and try the on board graphics again, but I'm losing hope for my CPU or my board.

Thoughts?
