Installed amd OVERDRIVE thinking it works for ryzen CPUs and before I could even use the program it blue screened and my PC won't correctly even after CMOS reset

Hello amd forum,

I have recently decided to switch over from Intel to the ryzen series from amd with your new 2600 processor and thought that the AMD overdrive software was also for the ryzen series processors. And that turns out not to be the case, but the programme blue screened my pc right as I clicked on 'yes' when it asks you about knowing the risk of overclocking.

I have a motherboard where to reset CMOS I need to take out the cable, which I did, but I still can't boot properly.

Please help me out, I was really excited for my new upgrade from an old 6th gen i3

Kind regards,

HouseHipster

Yes, Overdrive is the reason for your BSOD.

Need to give your computer information as per AMD Forum rules: INFORMATION REQUIRED WHEN POSTING A QUESTION
.
If you can enter "SAFE MODE", try and uninstall Overdrive, then download and install Ryzen Master which is the AMD Software that is used to configure and use Ryzen CPU/APUs.

If you have Windows 10, restart the computer about three times before it boots to Windows and you should reach a Repair Windows Menu. Then try to restore your computer to the point before you installed Overdrive.
