Alright so one day I was quite bored, and then I thought of overclocking my CPU, since I've tried overclocking both my GPU and monitor, and was successful in both, so I tried to OC my CPU

Specs:
CPU : A10-6800k with Radeon HD graphics

Motherboard: Asus A85-XMA

Video card : MSI GeForce GTX 1050 2GB OC

Power supply : Don't really remember :( 500 GB tho

I didn't really try much to overclock. I just increased APU frequency from 100 to 110. It seemed fine so I upped it to 115. It then stated overclocking failed so then I put in 114 and so on.

112 didn't work as well and then when I put in 111 it didn't boot up. I can't even get into the BIOS. I could hear the fans running and stuff everything was working but the screen was just blank.

And help is greatly appreciated :DDD
 
Solution
Reset your BIOS either via the jumper on the motherboard or remove and then replace the CMOS battery on the board. That should undo the changes you've made and hopefully allow you to boot the PC.
