Hey there :)

I have tried to overclock my GPU just a little bit in the AMD Overdrive in the Catalyst Control Center and ran the Valley Benchmark. It was running pretty smooth, a bit better than usual, temps were stable and than a yellow screen showed up. Just a yellow striped screen, although the song in the benchmark was still running. Couldn't do anything, had to restart my PC and I've put the settings to default again.
I've overclocked both GPU and Memory clock a 50MHz up and put the power limit settings to 10%.

Any ideas what could have cause the problem? I think that if I even overclock it for 5MHz I'd still get the yellow striped screen... :/

Thanks in advance 😀

MOBO: ASRock 870 extreme3
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 840
GPU: HIS Radeon R9 270X
PSU: Mastercase 600W
RAM: 8gb 1333MHz
 
Also, that must be an extremely generic PSU since it's not listed on the tier list ANYWHERE and I can't find it with a google search AT ALL. That could be a problem in and of itself. You need a good PSU and that's likely to be a very poor one. I could be wrong, it could be great, but it's probably not or else there would be some kind of information about it somewhere. Or, you got the name wrong. You want something that's at least Tier 3 and preferably Tier 2B or above here:
