I've overclocked my video card a bit too much and it has become unstable. So much so that after windows boots and gets to my desktop it can't stay up and running. I can't keep it going long enough to back down the settings. I'm using another video card right now in order to stay up.
How can I re-set the settings if I can't keep the system up?

What software did you use to overclock it?

The MSI/NVidia software is what I used. It allowed me to set core clock, speed, etc.
But I fixed it and here's how for future record. Start Menu -> RUN-> type "msconfig" -> then when to boot INI and clicked "Basevideo". Restarted the computer, swapped out the video card to the one I wanted and Windows starts with the most basic video settings available. I then went in and readjusted everything and here I am. Thanks again for everyone's quick responses and help. |
