Hello everyone, I own an MSI GF63 I5 12th gen 4050. I chose to lower the voltage of my MHZ from 1605 to 1705. After applying the changes, the laptop froze. I can shut it down and go to the Windows tab (where you need to enter your password/pin), and once logged in, it freezes again. The program used was MSI After Burner. Anyone have a solution? :-?

Restart in safe mode (typically press F8 at startup) and remove Afterburner. Moving from 1605 to 1705 is an overclock, not a voltage adjustment, and since you're using a laptop—often already warm at default speeds—overclocking offers minimal benefit.

I love YOU. Thank you very much, you're the only one who really helped me navigate the forums. All I got was a "buy a new laptop" and "reta##)". I know I'm stupid.

It's good to hear that. You might want to explore undervolting if you're experiencing heat issues, though you were on the right path before. Just a bit of confusion crept in. If your goal was to overclock for better performance, it wouldn't be worth the effort on a laptop.
