GTX 1080 Overclock Problems

[Gaungy]

Alright I want to first start off to say that I have no clue what is going on so help would be DEFINITELY needed

 

So about 2 days ago my brother overclocked my GTX 1080 FTW and had a few issues but managed to do it, lets say ever since then my GPU has been literally a nightmare. After blue screening from it being too high I reset the overclocking back to default so I didnt have to worry about it. Now when I play games I 90% of the time while walking see models get stretched or just moving items in general and its really making me mad. My brother keeps denying that he messed it up some way and I hope this can get fixed. Every time I play tower unite 85% of the time loading Golf, Virus, My Condo will cause the game to crash saying D3D Device Lost, meaning a graphical failure. If someone can help me it would be great thanks!

Tried to clean reinstall the driver? 

 

Get DDU and follow its instructions: http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

Overclocking shouldn't break the card so don't blame your brother. Try using DDU to uninstall drivers as suggested above and if that doesn't work try a fresh install of windows. The latest windows 10 update has issues with graphics cards. 

 

I can't tell you how many times I thought I had bad hardware but it ended up being fixed with a clean windows install.

Overclocking can easily break the card if not in the proper hands and yes I just used DDU

Not with modern GPUs. CPUs sure I can believe someone fried a recent CPU but a GPU is near impossible. You can't even overvolt any Pascal based GPU and if you clock it too high the computer either freezes or the card automatically lowers the clocks so unless you let your bro hard mod your card(IE apply liquid metal on the card) I doubt the overclock did anything. 

 

Did that fix your issue? If not try reinstalling windows. 

 

I had an issue a while ago where my motherboard didn't see my windows install and wouldn't boot into it, even removing my SSD and plugging in a new one with Windows installed didn't work, I thought I had a bad motherboard and was about to replace it but I reinstalled windows on the original SSD and that fixed my issues and I haven't had any issues since. So try that before hanging your brother
