I have a Palit 1060 6GB graphics card with the following:-

i5 2500K 3.30Ghz
Asrock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 Intel Z68 Motherboard
Team Group Orange 16GB 2133 RAM

For some reason I've never quite worked out, I can't see the mobo BIOS on the screen I use (Hazro 27) it's always too big and I can only see part of the screen.

If I want to make any BIOS changes I have to removed the card and plug in an old VGA monitor. It's a chore to say the least.

I had a decent stable clock going but FO4 keep crashing so decided to take the BIOS back to default and see if that was causing FO4 to crash.

However, when I put the card back in, the PC would just go into either an endless boot loop or get to the trouble shooting screen where I could boot Win10 to safe mode no problem. Restart and it would boot loop again.

I have got it working by changing the BIOS graphics from PCI-E to Onboard. The PC boots but I don't see the writing at the start - this option definately wasn't changed before I pulled the card. Would this make a difference to how the machine runs? I don't want it impacting gaming.

I can't work out why the PC gets so fussy with this card. Never had this issue before with graphics cards.

I'll royally spit the dummy out of FO4 continues to crash with stock clock - something it didn't do before changing to the 1060.
 
Probably not related but how many hours have you put into your playthrough?

I ask because I had FO4 keep crashing on me, At the time I was just over 300 hours into my playthrough and could no longer play it due to consistent crashing within a few minutes of starting, I removed all my saves and started a fresh game and it's been fine since leading me to conclude it was due to the amount of data in the saves overloading the memory limits of the game engine.
 
I've really only put in say 120 hours?

I'll play FO4 tonight and see if it crashes. Least if it does I know it wasn't the overclock.
