Using an asus z270h motherboard. The pc worked for about a year with no issues. Today I tried overclocking, and I set the ram and cpu frequency up. Clicked save and reset. Pc turned back on, but worked normally, but suddenly turned off. Dram error light turned on. Did many types of fixes including resetting cmos battery. Now all the error lights turn on in a sequence from cpu, ram, gpu and then boot drive. As soon as it reaches boot drive, the fan slows down. Nothing working. Please help
 
If you have cleared your Cmos, and is still doesn't boot.
Remove the ram and put just 1 ram in
Change the ram position each time, if it doesn't boot
Then change ram for other ram and try again.
The less inside your computer the better, so maybe remove the GPU and use the internal iGPU on the chip.
Less things inside, means easier to fault find.

The display doesn't connect. It says signal not found. Also I tried booting without gpu. Gonna try removing a ram.
Tried both ram sticks separately. It showed the ram error light. Does this mean that the ram is fried?
For what I did in bios, I changed bclk frequency from 100 to 250, and changed the ram frequency to 3000mhz which is what the normal xmp profile was showing. Does this mean that when I booted up the pc, it instantly tried to overclock to 4.5 GHz and then fried the cpu, or bc the frame light is on, the ram is fried. Thanks for you help

I'm not entirely sure about that, as I have some suspicion that the cpu might be fried as well. Do you think it could survive a 1ghz overclock? BTW it's water cooled

I was smart enough not to touch voltages. Right now I'm really hoping it was the cpu, bc I can live with using a pentium for a while. I really cannot afford even 8 gigs of ram, especially at the insane prices they're at right now. Lesson learned, don't overclock without a guide right next to you.
