Hoping someone can help as i'm at a total loss.
I recently tried to overclock my 1060 6gb, using MSI afterburner. going up slowly with the core clock, the system eventually lost stability and crashed.
Once i had powered back up it wouldn't boot to windows, advising there was an issue with the Kernal and to launch recovery.
recovery wouldn't load (instead it cycled back into the error message repeatedly) but after leaving the pc off for 20 minutes booted again and went straight into windows.
Used it for a good few hours, switched it off, then when i came to use it again, kernel issue.
My specs are below, but im confused as to how a GPU overclock failing has caused an issue with the kernel, especially when windows will boot and operate fine(usually after a cmos clear, but settings are already at default)
have i totally borked something? lol, please help!
Specs:
Mobo: MSI B350 Tomahawk
Cpu: Ryzen 1600x
Ram: 16Gb Corsair Ven. 2666 c15
GPU: Palit 1060 6gb Dual
