Ok so I went to overclock and the only thing I change was the cpu ratio from 20 to 23 and then I reset and save. After that the screen went black and my monitor light starting blinking, I reset the monitor and it turned on and said no signal. The computer is on and everything seems to be running and plugged in. Please help

Specs
AMD FX 8320E eight core processor
Msi 990FXA motherboard
Msi nvidia GeForce gtx 960

Pull your CMOS battery. Sounds like a instability and your motherboard didn't revert back to normal settings.
Also you need a Black Edition Cpu to Overclock correctly.
Try 21 and see what happens. If that fails then you may be out of luck on the CPU silicon Lottery or its not a BE and the Core Multiplier is locked.
Also whats your CPU Cooler?
PSU?
