Is there a fix when I launch CSGO? My screen flickers on and off and doesn’t display the game. When I reset the OC back to normal, everything functions properly. This issue also occurs with other games. I’ve been using Afterburner and the GPU flickers a bit, but games work fine then. Only when switching to desktop does it happen...

All cards on the same platform aren't the same, it depends on the specific manufacturer's cooling system and BIOS settings. Have you ever observed how some models include OC or Ti in their specifications? These versions generally handle more changes better. Basic models, often called "reference models," tend to struggle with excessive changes.

Not sure which GPU works properly after an OC.

I used a milder OC and it performed quite well. The GPU was R9 280x, and increasing the power limit too much led to issues.
