So i was using Catalyst and trying to solve some other problem which had, but kinda made a bigger problem then originally. I'm new to all this overclocking and underclocking so I had no idea whether to raise the the hertz of the memory and gpu higher or lower. First i did it lower and it had a problem saying failure then i raised higher and the com froze and basically screwed my com up. When I log in and try to change the over-overclocking I get weird pixelated screens disallowing me to access any program on my computer. So I'm stuck. I can access my bios and other stuff but I can't access any program to change it. Is there any way of changing the over-clock without using a program and instead hardware?

Please help, I truly had no clue and didn't realise overclocking was such a delicate operation. I'm new to computers.

It is all too easy to push a system over the edge when overclocking. In order to determine if help can be given we'll need you to provide some info for us. I may not be able to help but there will be others who can.

Can you give us the model and make of the card and some details about your computer, the motherboard make and model along with the CPU and perhaps RAM too.

How would I exactly do that? I know how to access safe mode but I have no clue what to do while I'm in there.
