If you can please try to ignore how dirty it is, havent been using it and I just wanted to make it stronger since it was having difficulty playing literally anything, even roblox.
I tried overclocking the CPU, a i5 1135G7, because I went into a bios thing and was curious after seeing the option to overclock since I never use my laptop and now I might be able to actually use it. Now it just has a completely black screen and I feel really dumb after going on google looking for help because it says I shouldnt even be trying to do it.

I cant find anything for laptops, and when I did, it wasn’t for the cpu but for the monitor.
First mistake: Overclocking a laptop. Should have researched about it before diving full on it. You will have to wait untill the battery drain out so the CMOS wil be resseted or just power cycle it until the bios detects there is somwthing wrong.
that’s fine, lol.
i guess i probably shouldn’t blast HP/Dell as much as i have. because if they didn’t lock down the bios as hard as they do-this is what people would do.
they’d go in there and crank clocks, voltage & turn down any exposed fan curves because “It’S sO LoUd!”
anyway.
the way you’d recover a desktop from this (tho most BIOS are intelligent and would do it themselves) is reset CMOS. resetting CMOS power clears most (used to be all) BIOS settings & resets the system clock.
on a laptop this is accomplished 1 of 2 ways.
Typical: CMOS battery. Small cylindrical battery-looks JUST like a wrist watch battery and is somewhere on the motherboard.
Newest: Newer laptops have gotten rid of the CMOS batt. Instead, the MAIN battery pack is used. Disconnect it.
So, pop the cover off..unplug the main battery and look for a cmos battery. if none, call it good and slap it back together.
there MAY be a key combination your laptop OEM set to reset BIOS on startup but this is uncommon so don’t assume it.
Edit: You should have known this might happen. Many OCs are unstable or cause no boot. Step #1 of overclocking anything is knowing how to recover if it goes bad..you skipped this apparently.
