I think I fucked up my card

So I was messing around with my gt 1030 in afterburner and I turned everything down to the minimum it could be at and now I can't redo it was cause afterburner won't respond to any of my clicks and keeps crashing. What do I do

Reboot the PC, if that fails then reset the cmos.

The CMOS is a battery that holds the information of the BIOS and Date & Time, its a small button cell battery on your motherboard. Check your motherboard for which headers to jump to reset the CMOS.

No need to worry. Dont reset CMOS will not help. This is because of MSI afterburner. GO ahead and open pc using dedicated gpu on motherboard or use a different gpu. Then go ahead and uninstall msi after burner and then shutdown pc. Plug display cable back to GT 1030. Or reinstall windows. Both methods will work.

Cmos hold info of motherboard and cpu not the GPU. Resetting CMOS will not help.

This is just because every time you try to turn on pc, Msi afterburner applies the settings you entered to gpu on startup, which makes your pc not want to boot up.

So dont worry your gpu is completely fine and is not f***** up.

By reset you mean factory reset or just a simple restart?

He most likely didn't have selected the option to apply the underclock and have afterburner start with windows, and the simple reset would do the trick.
