I overclocked my card way out of specs with Geforce Tweak Utility, and now the card freezes up any time I boot into windows! The only way I could go to this forum was by starting up in VGA mode, and it looks nasty! How do I set the clock speeds back? I already tried uninstalling my geforce drivers a couple times, and reinstalling GTU as well. Please help!!! :(

i believe that the overclock can be ignored if you press either shift or ctrl or alt when windows is starting....or you could reformat

I had the same problem with a sis video card I was playing with. Try going into safe mode and uninstalling the geforce tweak util. I remember doing something like this. Not sure exactly what solved the problem.
