"Overclocking failed" typically refers to a situation where a computer's CPU or GPU has been pushed beyond its stable operating limits, resulting in a failure to boot or operate correctly. This can be due to insufficient voltage, inadequate cooling, or unstable settings. When this occurs, the system may revert to default settings or display an error message, indicating that the attempted overclocking was unsuccessful. It highlights the importance of careful tuning and monitoring when attempting to increase hardware performance.
