    Hi guys Ive after doing something with the Amd overclocking app. I overclocked the graphics card to much and now the screen just goes black when I go into windows after the application starts. Anything I can do? Don't want the hassle of reinstalling windows and dont want to damage graphics card and hopefully not allready damaged!!

    Try boot in safe mode and reset overclock

    tried booting in safe mode but wont let me access application in it. Tried uninstalling and won't let me uninstall either. Won't let me remove it as it says no driver found for graphics card. Its the amd vision engine controller

    Disabled it from startup in Safe Mode if anyone else gets the same problem, panic over. A piece of advice, don't try overclocking if you know nothing about it or never researched it!:pac:

    Can you check if damaged or should it be okay? Farcry 3 running grand with no problems anyway

    Run furmark for 30mins. If nothing goes awry then you're good.
