I was tweaking my RAM settings in Ryzen Master, trying to push it to 6000MHz. Before this, everything was working perfectly, but now my PC has a permanent red CPU light. I can't seem to reset the CMOS to fix it, and I don't think there's anything wrong with the CPU itself. It was performing well at 5600MHz. I suspect that my RAM kit is primarily optimized for Intel, even though it's advertised for both. Does anyone have advice on how to resolve this?

If your motherboard has a BIOS Flashback button, use it to reflash the BIOS. This typically resets the settings to default. Make sure to check guides online for your motherboard brand. Also, remember that for RAM to reach higher speeds, your CPU, motherboard, and RAM all need to be compatible. AMD 7000 CPUs officially support up to 5200MHz, while 9000 series go up to 5600MHz, so be cautious with that 6000MHz goal!
Try unplugging your power supply and removing the CMOS battery for about 10 minutes. This should help reset everything properly—sometimes the jumper method doesn’t work as expected. Give it a shot!
I had the CMOS battery out for over 10 hours today before I tried again, but no luck!
I have the Gigabyte Eagle AX Rev 1.0-1.1. I tried flashing and updating it, but the red light and boot issue still persist.
