I ran a multi-core CPU test in Cinebench to test my overclock. I enabled PBO in the BIOS. When the multi-core test ended, my entire PC crashed. Now, I cannot use my Wi-Fi for some reason. I'm getting the following errors in Device Manager for the WiFi adapter:

"This device cannot start. (Code 10) {Operation Failed} The requested operation was unsuccessful." and then "Currently, this hardware device is connected to the computer (Code 45). To fix this problem, reconnect the hardware device to the computer." once I restart my PC.

I also keep getting a black screen with a spinning loading circle and then a blue screen that says "Please wait" with another loading circle whenever I start up my PC. This did not happen before, and it makes startup take longer.

I tried to do a System Restore. My last restore point was yesterday, so I used that. However, that did not fix any of my issues. How can I fix this problem?

So far, I disabled PBO in the BIOS settings and then reset all my BIOS settings to the default settings. I'm unfortunately still getting these issues though. I'll try to clear the CMOS though too. I tried to uninstall the MediaTek wifi adapter multiple times, but I'm still getting this issue. Am I uninstalling it incorrectly or something?

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:

SSD/HDD:

Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

Thank you! I edited my post and added that information. I was able to fix my issue, but I'm sitll concerned over if my PC got damaged at all and why it crashed. I realized that I set Cinebench R24 to Real-time Priority in Process Lasso a while back to get the best possible score, so is that why my PC crashed? I guess I got lucky a year ago when I ran it last, but I know running stuff in Real-time causes instability. I don't know why it caused my Wi-Fi isuses though. I was able to fix it by disabling and enabling the Wi-Fi connector in my BIOS settings.
