So, today i wanted to over clock my MSI GTX 960, i did that by using MSI Afterburner and Unigine Heaven 4.0 - i was going up by 10 mhz. I increased my core clock speed my 10mhz aand runed unigne heaven 4.0 benchmark on ultra  - resulting with 10mhz overclock and 0.1 average fps increase, so i did that for about 2 hours straight, when the benchmark crashed, so i incresed max power limit to +8% and stopped overclocking core, and then also by +10mhz overclocked memory clock. My results were 

Power Limit (%) 108%

Core Clock (MHz) +190

Memory Clock (MHz) +300

Fan speed(%) auto, user define.

After that i saved it and minimized msi afterburner. Also my temps were 45C°(min)-65C°(max)  while  benchmarking. So i booted up Far Cry4 and after like 30min gaming on Ultra pre-set it crashed and and the system tray showed up a nortification showing that my driver crashed and recovered,i looked at GPU temperature and it showed 68, then i loaded back far cry 4 and it instatly crashed and on system tray it showed that

"FarCry4.exe has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware". I then checked my gpu temperature and it was sitting on 44 degrees. Then i put all my overclocks back to stock and tried again and it again crashed, then i uninstalled drivers and restarted my computer, then i tried again and it crashed again and the temperatures are 35C° GPU and 50C° CPU. What can i do to fix this?

It does if the CPU has hyper-threaded cores too.

@Ha3E. How did you remove the drivers? The standard way?

 Ubisoft blocked using dual cores with Far Cry 4, nobody knows why

yeah no go on duel core unless you pirated the game i think... which Im sure you didnt do.....

the cpu has hyper-threading 2 physical core and 4 with hyperthreading, and it runs, when i didnt overclock it ran on high with no problems.

Did i fuck up with overclocking?

Remove your drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller and install them again.

Okay, but btw the game and everything else ran kinda okay before i overclocked the card.

I understand that.
