I am new to overclocking and I just built a new computer, i will list spec's below. But I used the OC genie on my MSI MoBo and am stable at 4.5 for that. However; I overclocked my GPU after watching a youtube video on overclocking my same GPU and what i did was, I set my GPU clock offset to a +115, and Memory clock offset to a +55, using EVGA Precision X, then I overvolted it +12. All these things the dude did in the video and it was stable. So instead of running a bench or stress tests I jumped into COD Black OPs and started my gaming, it was great till it crashed. I then restored my GPU to its default and then after that I kept having my driver crash during valley benchmark. So i ran Farcry 3 and I saw the twitching, and stuttering, and also in Borderlands 2, however; COD Black OPs runs fine. So I uninstalled the driver that kept crashing an reinstalled it and now it ain't so bad, but the twitching, and stuttering are still there in some games and the FPS I was getting I don't get in them games any more. Did i mess up my GPU overvolting it? Is there a way to fix this? Did I mess up the default OC and now its not as stable? Should I mess with OCing it to find a stable point? Any and all help would be great thanks?

first of all, did you run a stability / stress test on y our GPU before you tried to OC it? if not, remember to do that in the future as it's always a good way to spot DOA components or other issues before you expose yourself to being responsible for the damage.

Other than that, you really didn't OC or overvolt your card by much, it is possible that the card wasn't stable to begin with

I ran prime95 wile OCing the CPU and I ran valley benchmark for the GPU but I havent done nothing as far as OCing the GPU since the problem, I did go back and disable Cool and Quiet in my bios that is the only changes that I have made.

I do all the time I use coretemp and I idel at 19-20c some times lower, and that is with factory theremal past from the h110 but i got Prolimatech PK-1 Nano Aluminum Thermal Compound on the way from amazon this will make it even lower. Now under full load after a day of running prime95 I am seting at 40c and it wont go above that it go 39-40c and stays doing that. I looked on the nvidia forums and microsoft forums about this problem and found some thing that works.

If you are having this problem this is what I did to fix the problems.
1) reinstalled the newist driver downloading from nvidia, not through gforce experence.
2) Opened Nvidia control panel and go to "Ajust Desktop Color Setting" and pick "Use Nvidia Settings", then go to "Ajdjust Video Color Setings" and pick "with Nvidia setting" then do the same for "Adjust Video Image Settings" with "edge enhacements and Noise reduction"
3) Open Devise manager and go down to "Sound" and disable the Nvidia High Definition Audio and Nvidia Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible)(WDM)

thank you all for your help but my back over clocked and no problems.
