Overclocking causing PC crash
Overclocking causing PC crash
I recently increased the overclock of my GTX 1080 while playing a game, and it froze unexpectedly, causing the entire PC to freeze afterward. I had to force restart and then lowered my OC, but it happened again. I’m concerned this might have damaged my system. Is this just a sign of instability, and will it be okay if I bring it back to a more stable setting?
Don't worry, I don't think you ruined your PC. Try restoring your 1080 to default settings and see if the issue persists. If it does, it might be an unstable update, which is common. Should it happen again, a driver corruption could be the cause. Use this DDU tool to uninstall drivers and install the latest ones from Nvidia.
