Gpu problem - help please!

[Wano97]

I'm not quite sure if this is a problem with afterburner or the gpu to begin with. Please take your time, I'd really appreciate the help, I can't even use my PC at this point.

Okay I'm posting this topic before going to bed hoping I'll be able to fix it with the helpful comments. I'm posting a few pictures because youtube wasn't logging in so I couldn't upload. Basically, I reinstalled my drivers etc for my gpu and I folded for a couple of minutes. After that the uefi dualbios showed up asking me the standard 3 things such as boot with optimized defaults etc. Nothing going wrong at this point.

I was having trouble getting a decent PPD rate while folding, and I decided to reset my overclocking settings on msi afterburner by pressing 'reset'. Suddenly insanely big numbers showed up everywhere on afterburner. Over a 300k at voltage offset, core clock offset etc... I tried pressing reset again, it still didn't remove the big numbers. I tried closing afterburner, but my PC just shuts down instantly. I can't do anything on my computer after rebooting, My screen will just turn blue after logging in. Here are some pictures

Pic1: booting up from bios

Pic2: logging in, everything going fine here

Pic3: going well, for a few seconds

Pic4: the blue screen (not a bsod, but you probably figured that out already)

Try onboard video, uninstall afterburner, go back to your gpu and see if that changes anything?

I didn't even think about changing to onboard, thanks! Will be the first thing I do tomorrow morning

Sadly this didn't work, it gave me bsods instead

Edit: okay im on now but I cant delete msi and it's using 28% of my cpu but it's not showing up in my taskbar. Can't close it with task manager either

Even trying to kill the process won't work either?

I'm going to try it with the command prompt screen thing because task manager doesn't help me here

@AlwaysFSX that didn't work either.

Are you able to enter after burner and revert all the settings back to stock?

No I can't enter afterburner. On a sidenote, do you know what nTuneCMD is? I was just browsing my startup programs

Not a clue but file.net says it's something from Nvidia.

I'll try to make a new topic about closing afterburner

I'm going to continue thinking of ways to fix this, but I dunno if I'll come up with much.

I was thinking about why it started up after boot, because it doesn't show up in the startup list

Nothing on there is for it?

Nope, nothing related to any overclocking program at all

Huh, have you gone in to safe mode yet to see if you can mess with it?

Can't seem to enter it, unless I'm doing it wrong.

There's an option to have it boot in to Safe Mode from msconfig.

There's an option to have it boot in to Safe Mode from msconfig.

I'll try that, and command prompt says MSI afterburner isn't active, while it said when I entered "Tasklist' that MSIAfterburner.exe is clearly running.

Well, nothing appears on my monitor after trying to boot in safemode

Uh oh. Does it give you the option before Windows boots to start normally?

[Wano97]

It doesn't give me anything at all not even the POST screen

I hope it's not broken now. D: Do you by chance have a second desktop you can plug the hard drive in to and manually delete Afterburner?

Plot twist

I held the 'reset' button or whatever that is next to the normal on/off switch and suddenly I heard my cpu coolers rpm going up, while it was already running, and it worked. It allowed me to uninstall afterburner and it's all working as intended now thanks for the help man!

The only problem now is figure out where this awful squeeking noice is coming from. I think it's the gpu coil whining but I'm not quite sure

 

Edit: @AlwaysFSX , Lol my PC started folding, that's why everything was getting so hot.
