I used the msis rtx 2070 guide, let the OC scanner handle the settings, and chose the appropriate overclock. Then I played games for a few hours. The next day, when I turned on my PC, it became very slow. The computer would freeze occasionally, and launching programs took an eternity. What happened?

If it freezes and runs slowly, turn off the overclock and check if it stabilizes. It’s possible the unstable overclock is the cause. Push your GPU to its limits, watch the temperatures, and raise the clock speeds until problems appear in the benchmarking. Afterward, reduce the clocks slightly.

I felt a bit anxious initially, but once the default settings were applied the system worked properly again. The OC setting helped, so perhaps it's related to startup behavior?

I set it to default when the machine started, and it worked. I can redo the OC and it should function properly afterward. Probably a startup issue.
