Hi. I'm completely new to this and everything was amazing until I found this (Precision XOC). My fans weren't working, so I fixed the issue. Then I started learning about overclocking (which I wish I hadn't), and I think I accidentally overclocked it while trying a certain number (stupid I know). Now every time I log in to Windows, it stays open for about 10 seconds before "Steam" starts and then Precision XOC runs too, causing the screen to go gray again. I tried booting in safe mode to remove Precision, but when I pressed apply it doesn't return to the default settings. My graphics card seems fine and working before Precision runs and applies the changes I made. The PC is only two days old, so I won't bother with formatting it. Any easier solution would be great? Thank you!
