unlocking voltage need help

[Megamuffin]

so awhile back my drivers kept crashing, i thought i fixed it but i didnt. i googled after alot of research into it it seems like its a voltage issue. but my gpu is voltage locked i cant change the voltage in MSI afterburner or sapphire trixx

i went into MSI afterburner config enabled unofficial overclocking wrote the "i accept ..." also went into the registry to edit to option that allows it.

still locked any ideas why?

Some of them are firmware locked and you need to use an unlocking tool.
Perhaps give us the model of the GPU.

Use DDU to uninstall the drivers properly then reinstall the latest one.

Try this that I found on another website:
"We're receiving emails on how to enable additional overclockability for AMD cards (if supported) in MSI afterBurner.

To enable the unofficial overclocking in this version it is necessary to edit the MSIAfterburner.cfg file located in the installation directory of AfterBurner (typically Program Files (x86) MSI Afterburner):


You need to alter the following:
Seek UnofficialOverclockingEULA field and add following text:
I confirm that I am aware of unofficial overclocking limitations and fully understand that MSI will not provide me any support on it
Set UnofficialOverclockingMode to 1 to keep PowerPlay active (may not work on old ASICs), 2 to traditionally disable PowerPlay or to 0 to temporary disable unofficial overclocking path"
