I just assembled a PC using a GTX 1050 and attempted to overclock it. The system starts up, but the display shows a solid color, resembling a BSOD, though it isn't consistently blue. Has anyone experienced this issue before?

You don't really require a higher power limit, since it only matters if you're reaching the cap, and boosting core voltage is essential just for very high overclocking. And no, you can't do it without a program—most brands offer their own, so you might want to explore that option.

The GPU doesn't get overclocked in BIOS; it's handled through Windows, which could be affecting other components.

No, I'm using precisionx but after restarting, when I open a program, it appears to display a uniform average color and the entire screen stays that shade. For example, when opening Steam, the color would be the gray-blue of steam.

I noticed you're having trouble with power settings and wondering if you can adjust the GPU configuration without tools like precisionX or MSI Afterburner.

Mister_MO should not worry about raising the power limit unless it's actually reaching its threshold. Increasing core voltage only makes sense for very high overclocking, not as a general solution. You won't be able to do this without a specific program; most manufacturers have their own tools. You could try booting in safe mode and removing the problematic software to resolve the issue. Thank you! I understood that I had set the core clock too high, but I considered starting in safe mode and uninstalling the program that was causing the problem. I overclocked it excessively but it's now working properly!
