Alienware 17 R3 won't boot. 4 beeps.

Hi there,

After messing with over clocking my cpu, as I followed the instructions of a video, I also changed the memory cloak? From the standard 8 to 10, as it was what the person in the video suggested as he has the same model.

Now my laptop won't start and it won't boot the bios, it just beeps.

I've been on Google for a while now and the beeping four times means something's wrong with the memory. I think that the changes that I made is what affected this.

Is there anyway to boot into bios and reset what I changed? I feel like it's shouldn't be a big issue...but oh well. I ***.

Thanks for reading!
