Pc won't post after overclock. My monitor won't turn on and the fans turn on and the CPU fan spins super fast. My keyboard lights don't turn on. I've tried jumping cmos, switching out ram sticks, taking out the battery for 12 hours and unplugging the psu. My specs are msi z87-g45 mobo
Intel i5-4670k
Corsair 750ti psu
And a huge CPU cooler but I forgot the name
8gb ddr3
I've also tried unplugging the you and using the onboard graphics

If you have already tried to reset your CMOS by disconnecting the jumper, it should be at least posting to factory defaults. You might have to remove the CMOS battery to reset the bios.

Hello.

Were you monitoring the temperatures as you overclocked? Including the motherboard? Overclocking is always a risk, either to your CPU, RAM or the motherboard.

My bet is that your motherboard is defect. I suggest trying to change it out first. I don't suggest trying another CPU unless you have a spare Pentium or something, which are low cost. The motherboard might break your new CPU as well.

Okay sadly I'm going to order a new motherboard since I don't have one on hand. If it helps i think it's the CPU voltage I meant to set it to 1.19 but I might of done 1.9. And my CPU usually runs at 38 degrees
