R9 290 GPU OC malfunction

[BBQJOE]

Hello guys, here is my issue: I tried to fix a screen tearing problem by twitching the OC capability of my Sapphire Vapor-X R9 290 tri-xx OC Edition and it resulted in weeks of crashing, black screens, power problem and all sorts of nasty things. I am pretty sure all I need to do to solve my hellish problem is to reset the OC of my card back to stock level, but I can't seem to find anyway to do this. the Tri-xx software from sapphire needed to be deleted because it was making my PC crash, and even now, If i dont flip a switch on my motherboard, the PC will begin to power up on boot only to turn off 3 sec later. here are my specs:

Motherboard: asus crosshair-v formula-z

CPU: fx-8350

GPU: sapphire vapor-X r9 290 Tri-xx OC

RAM: radeon memory RG 2133 2 x 8 Gb

PSU: ThermalTake smart M750w

1 HDD, 1 SSD

 

PLZ help.

I think the switch he's flipping to even boot is the clear CMOS

Install Afterburner and put the settings down way low then apply it.

by R.I.P you mean there is no way? I know it might not be as easy as to press the "reset your OC profile", but is there no turn around?

 well then take the battery out for a few minutes? that should reset everything right?

if you have a crappy nvidia gpu? just throw that in there? see if it boots in safe mode.

can you even boot in safe mode?

[BBQJOE]

I was able to delete the tri-xx OC software in safe mode to be able to at least boot the PC. so now it works pretty much like a russian submarine: It works fine if you ignore the water leaks. have lots of glitches in the screen and brightness random changes.

if the OC is card specific, i'll try RMA the card. is the OC done to the GPU or is it a global PC setting?
