Hi all,
I recently started experimenting to see if my new Asus PB258Q could overclock. Short answer is: it didn't. I used the program "nvidia pixel clock patcher" which I found on an article about monitor overclocking for a similar monitor to mine. So I downloaded the program, ran it, and it did it's thing. Next I went to the Nvidia control panel and clicked the customize button in the resolution section. I dialed in an overclock of 75hz and, the monitor went black accept for an error message saying "out of range." After a few seconds, the monitor turned back on and the refresh rate went back to normal. Next, I tried an overclock of 65hz, which seemed to work accept for a bit of stutter which I mistakenly dismissed. Then, as I thought my monitor overclocking adventure was over, I went on to make a bootable usb drive for Manjaro Gaming linux of all things, and restarted my computer to install it alongside Windows 10. I went through the installation procedure as one does, and I hit a snag (please help) but back on topic. After failing to install linux, I went back to windows. But after watching the little dots fly around for a bit, the os had seemed to have booted, but all I saw was the error message on my monitor saying "out of range." So I thought, "lets hook up another monitor" but when i turned it on, there was a black screen with just the cursor.
Thanks for the any help you can give me.
PS: in manjaro, the display settings say my monitor is running at 65hz.
PPS: I tried safe mode, but i couldn't access the nvidia control panel.
