hi. so the specs are:
i7 4790k
win 10
Gigabyte z97 gaming 5
GTX 980 Ti
Geil 2x8GB DDR3 2400Mhz
i noticed speccy shows that the RAM sticks are at 1600Mhz. and if i want to get it up to 2400 i have to do it myself. so i installed gigabyte EasyTune app. opened it and although it said DDR4 something something i didn't mind and set it to 2400. it asked for a system reboot so i did, now i just get ''error loading operating system''
i did get in the BIOS and have found the ram frequency settings. when i first checked it after the problem it was set at automatic. i tried setting it at x16 but i get the error again
 
Solution
Some motherboards have switches or a jumper to clear the CMOS/BIOS

If that board doesnt have one then take then disconnect from all power and take the battery out of the board for 10 - 15 minutes

thank you so much! i took out the battery left it for 20 minutes.
before putting it back in i pushed the power button down for 5 seconds (just to make sure) and voila. everything's back to normal. again thank you. :)
