Did you try backing down the overclock settings?

When it did boot did you test it for both performance and stability?

I backed them down to stock and the boot is still slow. It hangs on a black background with the spinning dots loading animation.

The settings i backed down to had worked perfectly. Not sure what is happening.

How did you OC? With that OC speed, you could probably have done nothing more than Jack up the multiplier, but if for some ungodly reason you software oc'd (OC Genie) then you would be best served by opening bios and doing a factory reset followed by any changes you specifically needed like PEG, xms etc.

Yes, the bios screen pops up and goes away. Then the windows loading dots appear over a black background.

Sorry for the annoying explanation, i didnt think it mattered when it was happening.

Yes makes a big difference, slow to BIOS is what I said before, slow to windows is likely unrelated to your overclock. Did anything else happen when you overclocked? Did the computer crash or something?

There have only been two noticeable changes.

1.Startup speed

2. Tomshardware and only tomshardware switching to a blank white page if i dont instantly click on my notifications. That is probably just a coincidence though.

The Toms Hardware thing is because you're using Ad-Blocker, I have the same issue, its one of the new ads on here. I've complained already about it.

As for the Startup speed, thats a tough one. Have you added or changed any programs around the same time? Turned on any features?

You may want to go into Windows Repair mode and repair your windows install in case you corrupted something. Watch this

I haven't made any changes in the past 4 days because im trying to learn video editing just for fun and that has been taking up a lot of my time. The problem started this morning.

I will try the repair thing soon. Thanks

Do you have the latest set of motherboard drivers? It's not uncommon for Win10 to do an update requiring reboot, but those updates can mess with older driver sets, timestamps, etc and cause uefi issues. I'd also take a look at bios and make sure you have legacy and uefi enabled at boot, not just uefi. Also, is it possible that you have anything USB plugged in? Win10 also has issues with some older USB firmware that's out of date.
