Really worried.

I'm on a trip atm and I was talking to my brother on the phone who downloaded the new nvdia beta drivers to my computer for my GTX 570, he said they caused DA2 to crash so I told him to up the voltage from 1025 to 1050, he instead upped the core clock from 820 to 1050, which caused the screen to go blank and fan to ramp up to max. So he tried restarting the computer a couple of times, which went okay until a few seconds after it hit the desktop in which an error message came up followed by an immediate shutdown.

So my friend reckons the clock isn't resetting, and it's stuck at 1050 which he says is causing the shutdowns. If so how am I supposed to reset the clocks without being able to access msi afterburner. Anyone know how I could have possibly fix it?

I'm sorta worried because I know there's a problem but I can't do anything about it now :/ But I'll be back tommorow so I can assess the situation better then.


Sorry about the things lack of paragraphing, using my phone.

Maybe restart in safe mode? Not sure if you can access the afterburner settings from there, but you should be able to uninstall it or stop it from starting with windows from msconfig.

How do I access safe mode from post or whatever is before the desktop?

F8

I have a Asus mobo if that helps

As mentioned above, F8 for safe mode on an asus board.

F8

Thanks, so just hit f8, boot in safe mode and access afterburner from there, then hopefully to reduce clock from 1050 to stock and then reboot normally from there?

And that should fix the problem of its related to the 1050 clock?

No idea, it will boot the card in VGA mode. It worked for me when my laptop suffered with the nvidia 8600 manufacturing defect.
