HEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!!!!

[Joseph692]

Hi guys, I think I made a huge mistake. I overclocked my gpu to +1000 and now my gpu keeps doing wierd stuff. It displays some random colors for example the first time, it displayed magenta on my main monitor and white on my secondary, and now it`s dark green on my main and orange on my sec. Since I overclocked using MSI Afterburner, the effects obly start when I log in into my local windows account. Any idea how to bot into safe mode, with no apps at startup so that I can fix this mistake?

Please help, this will mean so much to me. Thaks in advance!

Power up your system, wait 5 seconds, then press and hold the power button until the system shuts off. Repeat this 3 times. The windows repair menu will show up and you should be able to tell it through that to boot into safe mode.

Before logging into the windows account, hold shift and press restart on screen. After restart you should be given the option to boot into safe mode. Pressing F4 on startup works too. F5 for safe mode with internet

There's an even easier way than what @Skiiwee29 and @Hay_balesuggested: press and hold SHIFT down when you click on the login-button and hold it down until the desktop has loaded.

Thanks man but if I turn on Afterburner on again it wll still crash. Any idea on how I can delete the presets or should I delete the whole fucing thing?

you will need to uninstall afterburner and tell it to delete profiles and reinstall it after you boot back normally.

You will have to delete afterburner to get rid of the profiles. There may be a way to go into the afterburner files and delete it but I have never looked and reinstalling will probably be faster

Uninstall it and don't tick the Apply at startup box.

Thanks Caroline. I decided to risk and restarted in safe mode, turned on msi afterburner and quickly change to my normal preset before the changes from the old one could apply. I am speed

True that. Managed to quicly change the profile before the oc would kick in. Thank you though, I almost crapped my pants thinking that i fried my gpu. It already has ptsd. It`s fans ramp up to max from time to time for like half a second
