Hi, I attempted to overclock my new MSI GTX 1080ti Seahawk using MSI Afterburner with gradual adjustments. Everything functioned properly and the PC shut down normally. Now I’m unable to start the machine with the graphics cards installed. It works with another card but not the 1080; I see a brief LED flash followed by a dead stop when power is applied. Have I damaged my card? I have an Antec 850 PSU, thinking it could handle more overclocking. Could anyone advise on how to get my system running again? Thanks.

I've also restarted my PC but the issue remains unchanged.
