Monitor overclocking issue

Hello, my name is Jonathan and I overclocked my monitor from 60hz to 75hz, everything worked fine, no heat or pixel issues, until I turned off and on the monitor and I had a few seconds of no issues but then in an instance my monitor froze and it all became pixels, I tried turning off and on the monitor again, same thing, until I turned off and on like 10 times and then everything worked fine, thought it's the end of this issue but nope, until the next turn off and on, same thing happened again, so it started from overclocking my monitor, but I had this issue before when I got this monitor for like a month even though it was on it's normal refresh rate (60hz), so i'm wondering if there's a fix for it? or should I wait and see if it will be fixed like the problem I had when I bought this monitor at the beginning? or it's better to stop the overclocking right now?

The Monitor I Am Using: Samsung S27F350

Why didnt you send it back and get another if the Problem was exist from the Beginning?

If you had the problem even at normal refresh then either it's a bad cable or the monitor is faulty in the first place.

Yup, check cable.

cable is fine, tried it on my xbox aswell and it was fine, had a cable before and it was the same, the issue is that now it's back because I overclocked my monitor, I thought I got rid of this issue forever.

Again if you had it even before overclocking the monitor's likely faulty. Get it replaced.

it's the monitor's fault, but I got rid of this issue, but now that it's back idk if I should wait again until it will be fixed or this time it will destroy my monitor because of the overclock

as I said I got it fixed as a solution of waiting, so it doesnt matter now, the problem is now that it's back idk if I should wait since this time it came back because of the overclock.

You didn't "fix it", you just got lucky that it worked at some point. If you need to power cycle a monitor 10 times for it to work correctly and everything else in the chain (cable, GPU) is fine then it's faulty, period.

as I said, it's the monitor's fault, and I never said I fixed it, I said I got it fixed as a solution of waiting.

If you still have warranty. Send it back.
