Gpu not working

So hello guys, recently i overclocked my card (accidentaly both bios) and it is not working. Gpu powers up but it wont output any display, when booting up with other gpu windows cant detect corrupted one. Any ideas how to fix it ?
gpu rx 570 4gb nitro + hynux
 
You probably ruined that card. That's why you need to be careful when overclocking. So if you remove bad card, you get video? So you have 2 570's?
 
@johnb35 with modern day safeguards, it's almost impossible to "ruin" a CPU, GPU, ram stick, or mobo with overclocking. They all have built in safeguards that crash the system and revert to default settings before actually running at the OC and causing damage.

@Arniux Unless you tried to apply some insane voltage, I highly doubt you destroyed the GPU. Sounds to me like you may have corrupted the GPU bios, which I'm sure can be flashed and fixed. I recommend that you boot up with the working card and contact the card manufacturer's tech support. They can walk you through troubleshooting steps and a potential GPU bios flash.

You definitely can kill modern hardware with overclocking. It's less common yes but it's definitely possible. Safeguards can fail or you can overtime wear down components even if it's not technically overheating. My second 7970 nuked itself when the fan didn't span up appropriately (unrelated to overclocking, was a well known bug). Agreed though, sounds like corrupt vBIOS
 
I didn't say you couldn't kill modern hardware with overclocking. I just said it's really difficult. I guess I should elaborate and say that bricking/frying your components instantly with an unstable overclock is highly unlikely. Over the years I've futzed around with overclocking on several systems (mine, friends, etc.) and I have never once done any damage, even when really pushing things. That being said, overclocked components absolutely wear down and fail faster than non-OC'ed components BUT the change in lifespan is so small as to essentially never be noticed (i.e. your component will be obsolete before it dies most likely). Hardware is incredibly durable these days.

Agreed. I run my hardware, particularly CPU's, at locked multipliers, none of that power saving BS. :P Although my 1700 is at 3.9GHz rather than 4.0GHz (which is stable), since I expect to have it for a long time.
 
Same. I run my 7700K at 4.8ghz stable with a locked multi and no power saving. I used to have an i7-920 OC'ed to 4ghz full time. It took about 8 years before I was forced to scale back that overclock due to instability. Finally upgraded to my current specs last year. That 920 was a workhorse.
 
Yes. Contact your card manufacturer for details. Flashing vBIOS is a very particular process and if you screw it up you can brick your card.
