I tried to overclock my GPU (Msi Afterburner)

[satisphy]

Now anytime i boot into my OS i have lines across my screen im using msi afterburner is there anyway i can uninstall it through the BIOS

 

[Elysian890]

start windows in safe mode, press F8 key to do this, you can't uninstall software through BIOS unless you have some sort of integrated OS like winki or similar
or try using the onboard video output if you have any (disable or remove graphics card first)

if you told afterburner to load the overclock at start up

tap ctrl as the pc boots this will over ride the overclock the you can turn it down

 

[satisphy]

yeah i told afterburner to boot as soon as my pc starts the thing is my pc and OS boots up and for like a minute and two but then just goes to a black screen (and i tried what you said earlier it didnt work)

 

[satisphy]

i want to get rid of the overclocking settings i have for msi afterburner on startup is there anyway to do that?

 

[satisphy]

i tried that is there any way to disable msi afterburners settings?

 

[satisphy]

ok nm i booted in safe mode what should i do now?

 

[mcnumpty23]

if afterburner runs in safe mode turn off or turn down your overclock or uninstall afterburner or tell it not to run at start up

and ctrl is definitely the over ride key so either you arent pressing it at right time(just as windows starts to load)

or your keyboard isnt getting recognised quickly enough

 

[satisphy]

I just messed up my whole entire pc i did get into safe mode but i disabled amd control catalyst and my pc wont even show anything on the screen

 

[mcnumpty23]

why did you do that instead of disabling/sorting afterburner?

try removing power cord then pressing on/off button few times to discharge capacitors

then putting power cord back in and starting

 

[satisphy]

it didnt work its not showing anything on the screen i tried to disable amd drivers because someone else told me to and restarted and rebooted my pc a couple of times and now it wont show anything

 

[satisphy]

yeah my pc wont show anything on the screen idk why i disabled the amd drivers and it wont show anything on the screen

 

[mcnumpty23]

guess you shouldnt have listened to them

try clearing your cmos might or might not help

 

[satisphy]

how would i do that?

 

[mcnumpty23]

depends on your motherboard some have a clear cmos button others you need to move a jumper on the motherboard then

put it back where it was after

 

[satisphy]

yeah i tried to clear the cmos nothing boots up still any other ideas

 

[Elysian890]

yeah my pc wont show anything on the screen idk why i disabled the amd drivers and it wont show anything on the screen

Why? You should've uninstalled Afterburner instead of the drivers... Afterburner was causing the problem... go back into safe mode and reinstall the driver, and uninstall Ab, please.

 

[mcnumpty23]

yes thats what i told them to do in the beginning--unfortunately they listened to some one else--but for some reason now

they have no display at all

which is weird

but how they going to get into safe mode if cant see anything on the screen?

weird part. there's no way a driver uninstall can cause that problem, as it only affects OS, not POST, not selection menu
anyway, yes, clearing CMOS should bring image back, or removing the card and using onboard video, if any, to repair everything, then place it again and install drivers and stuff

maybe the OC fried the gpu itself or affected vrams

 

[mcnumpty23]

cant say have ever seen a software overclock fry the gpu or vram

software overclocking especially with recent cards just doesnt allow adding too much voltage

but pretty much at a loss where they can go from there unless have integrated graphics as well
