I'm not very familiar with technology. I was experimenting with MSI Afterburner and increased the core clock settings just to observe the effects. When I finished, my screen went black. After turning it off and on again, I could log in to my Windows account for about five seconds until the screen turned dark purple. This occurs every time I try to restart the application. I can't return to MSI Afterburner to reset it properly because it crashes when I click the app. Is there a way to restore the settings to normal or is there another problem?

It appears the profile is set to launch automatically with Windows. You can access SafeMode to either turn off Afterburner at startup or uninstall it entirely. This will undo any adjustments you've made.
