So I'm new to overclocking and I've been testing my rig with possible overclocking possibilities

After getting it stable at 4.5 GHz I went back into the bios to adjust some voltage and I was looking around at the memory voltage and I enabled XMP to see what it was and I think I might've selected a profile because after I exited out of the bios menu and reset I got a boot error that had to relate I believe with RAM or something and now after a reset I get stuck on the bios menu.
Did I mess up and fry something here? What kind of trouble shooting can I do?
