Hi there @Haydenkoehn10 and welcome to PCHF

Are you running the latest BIOS version?

Yes

Your OS overclocked?
Settings too high, will make it boot into the Bios.

[Haydenkoehn10]

Well it’s over clock but not very high 4.5 gigs
And it says On bios screen over lock failed but I click f1 then click boot and it’s just fine I’ve had the computer over a year now on this over clock

Booting into Bios has happened to me a number times , when Overclocking.
I would set Bios back to defaults, then do a fresh Overclock, again.

Ok I could do that if I could get it to boot now it won’t post at all

Find the clear CMOS jumper and short it with a jumper pin. Turn the system on and off again, and unjump the jumper. That should reset the CMOS to defaults, so you can go into the Bios and readjust things.From the sound of it, your OC is just more than your chip can handle.

That didn’t work I looked up how to do that on my motherboard and it still won’t post

Always worked for me on many Mobo’s.
Take the CMOS Battery out for 5 mins. Reinsert and try that.(One that looks like a shiny coin.)
What exactly did you do with the Jumper> You pulled it off the board, and then what?

[Haydenkoehn10]

I did that pulled out battery 10 mins reset bios tried to reboot no post but I get a flashing dram-led light when I restart the computer

[DOUGIE]

I asked you what did you do with the Jumper?
Please read my posts carefully. Thanks.

[Haydenkoehn10]

It’s a asus z170-a I looked up where the jumper was and there is not one so I used a flat blade screwdriver on the CLRTC 1and 2 prongs

[DOUGIE]

There has to be. Prongs 2 and 3 is where you should put the Jumper Pin,to clear the CMOS.
Then back to 1 and 2.
What happened to the Jumper?

[Haydenkoehn10]

Trust me I looked it up And there isn’t one
