Default RivaTuner

I OCed my video card and set it up in RivaTuner so that it would load these settings when Windows booted. Well, I guess I OCed it too high, now Windows will not load at all. The problem is that I can't even get into Windows or RivaTuner to stop this, and in Safe Mode the graphics card driver will not boot up, so I can't change it there either...Any help?

Thanks

No such luck, that only works with hardware...

Does the program not give a failsafe key combo? With Coolbits, if you cock it up, then when windows is booting, you press like ctrl + alt + F2 or something similar, and it resets the card.

as far as i know the pci-e 6600 has a power lead but i cant be sure. unplug the power lead and this should prevent the card from going as high as it normally would, allowing you to boot.

if this doesn't work start up in safe mode and uninstall the driver, this will erase any clock settings you have

No power lead on the 6600.

I'm trying various things in Safe Mode, I'll see what happens.
