How to fix?
Hello everyone, i'm new to overclocking and tried to test it out. I set the power clock to 120, which increased the temperature limit to 92. The core clock was around +450 and memory clock about +200. I planned to lower these values but just wanted to see how my system would perform. After a few minutes of startup, the computer crashed. When it did, a random solid color appeared on the screen, starting with a lime green hue. It often showed a strange, swirling pattern for a short time before settling into the solid color. How can I resolve this issue?
If you're using MSI afterburner:
Keep holding CTRL during startup from the Windows logo screen until you reach Desktop (you may release it while entering the password) to prevent Afterburner's profile from taking over. This will let the system boot to Windows, giving you the chance to disable or modify it.
Alternatively, refer to @BringerOfTea's linked article for instructions on entering safe mode. Although the article mentions hitting CTRL+F8 to access the menu, you can also try letting it fail to boot three times in a row, which will automatically start Windows in the Startup repair screen described in the article.
Restart your GPU to default configurations. It's significantly overclocked! Consider using 150 cores and 300 memory.
How would I start in safe mode and disable the overclocking software?
To set the GPU to base settings, you should adjust the configuration in the appropriate system menu or settings interface.

Thank you for your message. I will attempt this upon returning.
If you have on board graphics, change your video/monitor cable to that one. Begin the process. For afterburner mode, go to the panel with the settings button, press the middle round arrow, and click it. After that, switch the video cable back to the GPU and restart. Then implement your overclock adjustments.
