Hey, hope you're having a great day.
I attempted to overclock my GPU using MSI Afterburner to improve performance, but after changing settings, I reverted them and now the system behaves strangely. I'm really frustrated and unsure if I damaged my computer or not. The story goes like this: yesterday I watched some tutorials before trying the overclock, set the core clock to +20MHz, tested it, then reset everything and saved. After restarting, I encountered a blue screen with a WDF Violation message (https://ibb.co/yX3zsZp). I also tried using system restore without success, and the issue persists in safe mode. What should I do? Please help, this is really annoying.

Based on my own experience, I believe something in the BIOS has changed related to the GPU. I would take steps to restore it. Go to the BIOS by pressing the delete key, then navigate to "System" and select "Restore System Defaults." Save and exit carefully. This should bring you back to a working system. Don't blame me for trying to help.

It could be useful to capture some photos of the bios at this stage.

It's an HP BIOS, so choices are limited; I'll take pictures and share them later. The GPU fans are spinning, which suggests the GPU is working properly and isn't faulty. The PC is about five months old.

Can you find a method to actually reset the GPU physically?

Consider trying a repair installation from a bootable Windows 10 USB just to eliminate software issues. If the problem persists, it could indicate hardware damage. Consult a professional as suggested beforehand. Also, inspect the PSU.
