Hello, so I just recieved my new gigabyte rx470 in the mail. Installed it in my computer worked perfect. Then I decided to overclocking my CPU to 4.0 ghz, were good got a stable over clock. After that I downloaded the gigabyte xtreme software and I looked at the oc you can do to the card, I raised all the bars to the max. I was thinking they would cap it so you can't harm your gpu. Then my computer just rebooted with no warning. When I get to the screen that asks me to put me password in screen goes weird and reboots again, also got a message saying over clocking failed in reboot, I cleared CMOS and it's still happening. Only time I got in was when I changed my gpu to my old one and it booted up fine but worth the new card it won't boot.

Specs:

CPU: FX-6300 (OC 4.0GHZ)
GPU: Gigabyte G1 Gaming RX470 4GB
MOBO: Asus m5a78l
RAM: 16GB Corsair Veangence
HDD: 1TB
PSU: 500W EVGA 80+ Bronze

Please help me, need fast responses!

I can also take a video of what happened when it reboots by itself if needed.

No, you need to revert the overclock, deleting the software won't change anything.
The GPU has it's own BIOS. Try booting into safe mode and delete the drivers for the GPU and then boot normally,
windows should download new drivers and you should be fine. If that doesn't work.
Can you put both GPU's in the rig? Boot up with your secondary GPU, revert the overclock on the RX470 and then it should be fine.

The bad thing here is that your CPU has no iGPU.
You can fix this problem, by getting a secondary GPU and putting that inside your rig(if your motherboard allows), anything will do.
Then in BIOS you set the GPU to the new one, and after boot, open GIGABYTE software, and return the card to normal settings.
That should bring your GPU's life back.

Ok, so did that and I'm booted into dektop with new gpu going to get drivers online. Hope that it won't reboot on me again this has been stressing me out.Do you think I can over clock my CPU back to 4.0 ghz and leave my gpu default?!

Because you doubled it's clock speed, which the GPU isn't capable of and your PC can't boot up without a GPU.
It's a lot easier when you have a iGPU. I overclocked my GPU and this happened, but since I have an iGPU, I can easily boot up and fix it.
