GPU overclocking gone wrong? Help!!

Never overclock a laptop, they are already bad enough as it is, atleast when talking about cooling. Have you tried booting into safe mode? Try that and change the values back to default.

I once explained to my girlfriend what true love is. I said, "If you were a shit, I'd put you back in" and to this day, she is still my little shit.

Does it also have integrated graphics? maybe you could go to BIOS and disable your 8670M

5900X

MSI MEG X570 Unify

32GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance

RTX 3080

Dark Base Pro 900

Corsair RM1000i

Define "overclocked the memory a tiny bit"? +20mhz? +50? or what sum was it?

Also how did you overclock? Like what program did you use and is said programm set to autostart and/or to apply OC settings at system boot?

 

 

 

@Nord or quote me if you want me to reply back. I don't necessarily check back or subscribe to every topic.

+20 using MSI afterburner and 'Apply overclocking at system boot' was DISABLED

A 20mhz boost should rarely damage anything and the error screen itself does not necessarely indicate a hardware damage.

I have my laptop OC'd by +20core & +170 memory on a GTX 850m and that isnt even as high as it could go, so in comparesion 20mhz is nothing.

 

aoddriver2.sys is connected to " AMD OverDrive Service Driver ", as I havent used an AMD card since good old Windows XP where everything was called Catalyst Control Center, I dont exactly know what it does but according to AMD's site:

http://www.amd.com/en-us/innovations/software-technologies/technologies-gaming/over-drive

this is basically AMD's own overclocking programm aka most likely garbage that nobody should have installed.

 

So first my first bet would be AMD driver no like new OC, so it strikes and refuses to boot. Though I really find it odd you cant even get into BIOS... have you tryed just spamming the BIOS key when booting up no matter what?

 

If you are lucky your boot sequence is set to DVD > USB > HDD/SSD, so try to boot with a Windows CD or Thumbdrive and try the repair function, if that does not work you most likely will have to reformat.

You could also try a liveboot from Linux, to see if that works and/or try a different HDD inside the laptop itself.

If all of this fails, its indeed hardware damage.
