Display Issues when Overclocking RAM or CPU on Ryzen platform

[lessardsean13]

I have the MSI B350 Gaming Pro Carbon. I have been having issues where if I change anything related to overclocking settings (i.e. voltage or clock speed), the system will boot, but won't have any display. I would have to shut the system off for an hour or two, then it would have a display. Also, sometimes when the GPU (MSI Gaming X RX 580) is under load, the LED may flicker. These issues had also occurred when I had the MSI X370 Gaming Plus, as well as the MSI Gaming X GTX 1060. I can't find any solutions online, can someone tell me what is going on?

To start with, have you updated your motherboard bios to the latest version?

What is your power supply model?

Once I know that we can proceed from there.

I have already figured out a solution.I didn't think my PSU was delivering enough power, so I used an ampmeter, converted amps and volts to watts, and determined that my PSU was being strained. So, I purchased an 850w gold rated PSU (Thermaltake Toughpower Grand RGB 850W 80+ Gold), and it has been working great. My old one was a Rosewill ARC 650w 80+
bronze.

Makes sense. Faulty, poor quality or underpowered power supplies are generally the #1 reason for about half the posts we get here so it's not surprising. Good luck then.
