Hey everyone, just wanted to check if this situation is common.
I recently bought a new GTX 970 G1 and began overclocking it. When it became unstable, the driver crashed and the afterburner stopped working. The GPU-Z also failed to detect the card. After restarting my computer, everything became unclear and colorful. I verified the afterburner settings and everything was set to maximum. I then reset everything and it worked fine again.
Do you think this has happened before? Also, did I reduce the card's lifespan noticeably?
Thanks.
I question whether it would cause lasting harm if only briefly—a few seconds or a minute.
I’m uncertain what could lead to such an issue, except possibly outdated GPU firmware or BIOS settings.
It appears the card is adjusting itself to those parameters, and Afterburner merely reads them. Afterburner typically requires the "apply" command to make actual changes. It might also be a misreading if the card is failing and Afterburner is interpreting incorrect data about speeds or voltage.
Did you observe any additional heat or noise during the fuzzy color display?
