Hello all,
Is it possible to have an unstable gpu from too low of an underclock?

I was getting the green screen every time I started up any application, which I meant that I was getting a gpu error every time it was put under any load. After hours of trouble shooting, I realized that MSI Afterburner was starting my GPU up at 500mhz/725mhz core and memory respectively. I reset those to default and I no longer have this issue. My question is that is this even possible? I've never heard of Afterburner doing that, nor have I ever heard of gpu stability issues from too low of a clockspeed.
Thanks for your time.

yes, that is a possibility.

It's not designed to run at such a low frequency while under load.

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.
