Hello everyone,

Hope you guys can help me. I made a terrible mistake of overclocking my Palit Jetstream GTX 1060 using the Thunder Master OCng software. I'm a total noob in OCing so admittedly it was a stupid move on my part.

I tried rebooting several times but Windows 10 Pro is stuck and it shows a plain blue screen with no error code.

Appreciate any help for a fix that will not require me to reinstall windows and still retain my files. Or is there a bios setting i need to reconfigure?

Appreciate any help please.

PC specs
Palit Jetstream GTX 1060 6GB
I5-6400
8GB RAM
MOBO MSI H110M Pro-VH Plus
Seasonic 620W

What kind of Blue Screen is it BSOD or you get to welcome screen and stays there.Happened to me once or twice with overclocking.I did Bios reset and everything came to normal.
If you cant get to BIOS just reset through CMOS battery,Hope it helps.

Hi Adam, thanks for the reply. No there's no MSI icon popping up. Windows 10 still boots with welcome screen, then desktop appears, then poof...blue screen with no message.
