Uhhh. Help?

[Saikho]

Hey all!

 

So I just tried to over clock my gpu with the guide from pc user bench mark. And when I increments upwards by 50 mHz my screen had frozen. I restarted the system multiple times and even tried a different graphics card but it still freezes immediately. Does any one know a way to fix this? I had upped the available voltage I believe if that helps.

 

Thanks!

Try booting into safe mode and uninstalling whatever overclocking utility you were using. I'm assuming you ticked the option to apply the overclock at startup?

Boot into safe mode and uninstall Afterburner, iirc that will set your card to stock clocks since Afterburner handles the OC but I'm not 100% sure.

If that still doesn't work. Boot back into safemode with networking and run Display Driver Uninstaller from guru3d

I made sure I didnt click that but my issue is that it freezes immediately on the mobo screen. In the bios and everything

How do I do that? I'm not able to even interact with my pc physically. The screen freezes immediately on all ports

Can you give us a full parts list of your system?

Please please steer clear of UserBenchMark.

Yeah I will from now on. Thanks!

OP's system is freezing in the BIOS. It sounds to me like something other than the GPU overclock is at fault here.

I have an Intel i7 920 running at 2.67 gHz, asus strix 4G OC rx 570 all on an asus p6t deluxe v2 mobo. Hope this helps

It was fine until I changed anything with after burner. Does the same with a separate card too. Idk man but I'm worried I fucked my pc

To try and fix your problem, clear CMOS.

Ooh! I forgot abt that! I will try

[Master Disaster]

Clear CMOS and see if the issue still happens.

Try clearing the CMOS first of all. Switch your power supply off, press the power button a couple of times, take out the CMOS battery, put it back in after 5-10 minutes, switch the power supply on and start the computer.

Do note that this will reset all settings you might've changed in the BIOS.

It's probably a coincidence that you happened to be overclocking at the same time, a GPU overclock (at least one done in Afterburner or whatever with just a regular card like you were) should not cause anything like this.

I have the coin cell in my hand now. My mobo doesn't support many special features in the bios so I'm not worried abt that. It's a weird coincidence so I'm still a lil sketched out so for safety I have a card in there that isnt the one I tried to oc. Thank you so much!

I've cleared the cmos now and the old card is working. I've uninstalled afterburner and it all works now thank you so much!

[Saikho]

Case closed.

 

Cleared the CMOS and uninstalled afterburner. Thank you all to everyone who helped!

Not sure why people keep upping the amount of time to leave CMOS battery out, especially if you've already said to discharge capacitors by pressing the power button too?  a few seconds is all it actually takes, cos as long as the circuit isn't getting power either from battery/PSU/capacitors then the memory is wiped.
