What overclock did you do? What program did you use for it?
Did you touch the voltage? Bios mods?

Afterburner has a button that allows the overclock to be applied on start-up, did you keep that off or did you have that on?

 

As long as you didn't mess around with the GPU bios, Afterburner won't allow the settings to go past anything that would fry the card (to my knowledge).
The apply at startup button is the most likely cause of your problem, which you can override by booting up in safe mode and reinstalling afterburner.

If that doesn't work, you may have damaged something, but on a 1060 with all the protection that comes with it I find that unlikely.

How far did you push the core clock anyway? What was your offset?

True that, you'll be riding the power limit the whole way unless you flash your GPU BIOS.

is there a video out on your motherboard that can use the internal CPU graphics adapter? Might help you get back into windows and roll back the overclock in Afterburner.

Otherwise you gotta mash F8 on startup, or Shift+F8 for Windows 10 to try to get the advanced boot menu to choose Safe Mode.

I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on tape somewhere.

Sorry for the late respond, I got it fixed by booting on safe mode.

I thought that the changes applyed every time I hitted enter so when I clicked on the tick to save the settings the screen went black and the PC wouldn't go to the BIOS screen

I pushed the core clock to 700mghz, and i'm currently running an overclock of +125mghz and it would crash at arround 175 so imagine how big I fucked up.
