Any ideas on what to do? I’ve got an i5-4670k and had it stable at 4.2ghz and 1.116v. I bumped the frequency up to 4.4ghz and windows won’t start. I was thinking I should bump the voltage up some. But the trouble is, when I try to get back into bios to fix it, it just sits on a black screen with a cursor and a blinking underscore for a minute until it freezes.

ETA: I cleared the CMOS and it’s working again.
