Hey all, I'm not sure where to put this but since I was fiddling with the overclocking stuff I thought I would put it here.
I recently built a rig with the MSI 970A-G46 motherboard. It was working great until I messed with the OC Genie II on it. I changed the DRAM Frequency from 1066 (for some reason it was set to this even though my Ram is 1600) to 1866 accidentally. I thought my Ram was 1866 but it was really 1600. So I saved and exited the BIOS and restarted the comp. Then the wierd stuff happend...right before the Msi logo popped up right after I turned on the computer (where you hit Delete to go to the BIOS) a wierd message popped up super fast, I was only able to read part of it but it was basically saying "don't *** with the OC Genie 2 ***" so I was like alright, I hit Delete to go to the BIOS and went to the OC Genie 2 settings to change it back, and RIGHT before i could change it back, the comp froze, and my mouse froze. I couldn't do anything so I reset the computer, but now the computer won't work period, I can't even get to the BIOS.
I turn it on, the light comes on but the monitor it's plugged to is black and won't come out of power save mode, there are no beeps, and I checked the manual, the LED lights are telling me that everything is peachy, but the display won't come up whatsoever, I tried different monitors, I tried unplugging and plugging back in the RAM, I tried to use the jumper to reset the CMOS and reset the BIOS to what it was, hoping that would work. I even tried different connecting cables to the monitor. Nothing is working, and I can't do anything with this computer now.
I tried Google, but apparently this is a brand new problem with computers for humanity and nobody has this issue. I fucked up by putting 1866 mhz instead of 1600 mhz, did I fry my motherboard? Did I fry my RAM? Somebody help me out here, what could possibly have gone wrong so that I can reset it maybe and fix it, or just replace something.
