Overclocking broke PC :(

[Jonathan123]

Hello... I recently overclocked some components of my setup, including monitor from 60-70hz, GTX 1050ti (I left voltage overclock alone in Msi afterburner, temps never got above 63 Celcius.) I did benchmarking with Furmark and it always crashes but the GPU temperature never gets too high. Even if I remove my overclock on the GPU and monitor it still crashes, and games crash as well. I checked online and someone showed a stable +170 MHz to core and +700 MHz to memory to the same exact GPU type, but I never went above half those overclocks because I was too scared of breaking my GPU since I wouldn't be able to purchase a new one. I have tried resetting my PC and apps/games still crash. And I have also had this overclock on my GPU 24/7 the past 3 weeks and it has only glitched now, infact this happened after I overclocked my monitor 10 more fps. Sometimes it also says "the display driver has stopped working." Does anyone know how I can fix this? And thank you very much for the help.

Just because one person can reach a certain overclock, doesn't mean everyone else with that GPU can too.

 

Some GPUs might overclock very well, whereas some might not really be able to overclock at all.

Thank you, and how do I reset my CMOS?

I'd set monitor back to 60 for extra stability also.

It's pretty difficult to break stuff by OC it as long as you do it in short steps and don't push way too much voltage, and typically it's best to do one thing at a time, make sure it's stable and then go on to the next thing which makes it much easier to know exactly where the problem is, but now that you know how to reset your bios you can undo a lot of OC issues and crashing if things go a bit wrong
