I just got a brand new PC, Windows 10, GTX 1080, i7 6800k, and was in the process of OCing the GPU. It was stable at +300gpu/+350mem, so jumped all the way to +400/+450 as I had heard it was not uncommon for the card to reach 2ghz+ on air.
This caused a "hard crash" as in the monitor went blank and did not recover and the pc restarted itself but I still had to manually restart it to get an image back. After this, regardless of over clock, nearly all games crash instantly. Stares Valley and Mount and Blade Warband ran but BioShock 2 and anything more intensive do not.
My first though is to reinstall the Nvidia driver but as luck would have it a thunderstorm hit and am curretly out of power (on my phone) and just in case it is not a corrupted GPU driver I am making this post.
I've never had a driver get corrupted from OCing my GPU but it is apparently common while OCing the CPU (which I haven't done yet) and this has caused me some concern.
