I need some help here! I recently had some crashes while playing COD: Warzone and thought tweaking my BIOS settings could help, so I tried enabling the XMP profile. I then changed the system multiplier from the default 32.00 to 31.00. After hitting F10 to save, my PC rebooted but now it's just showing a black screen. I can see the computer is on, but there's no boot sequence or BIOS screen. My specs are a Ryzen 7 5700x3d, 7800 XT, Aorus B500 Elite V2 motherboard, and 32 GB of 3200 RAM. I've tried powering it off and on again but nothing seems to work. Also, my monitor isn't detecting the PC through the DisplayPort. I'd really appreciate any suggestions to get it working again!

If your PC isn't responding even after trying to reset, it could be a sign that the BIOS settings are still messed up. You might want to check all connections—sometimes a loose cable can cause these black screen issues. If all else fails, you might consider re-seating your RAM or GPU just to rule out any hardware problems.
Try this: unplug all the power from your PC, take out the BIOS battery, and hold the power button for about 30 seconds. Then, plug everything back in. It should start normally again, but just a heads up— you'll need to set your BIOS up from scratch once it boots.
I tried removing the power cable and holding the power button, but it still won’t boot up. What now?
What's the BIOS battery? I’ll unplug the PSU and turn off the switch at the back now.
