I understand correctly that it flies without a reboot? Because otherwise, I would advise you to check if the option "apply overclocking settings at system boot" is set in the utility with which you are driving the card.
Within the same load, overclocking can fail due to overheating, either due to an automatic reboot of the video driver (which also usually happens due to overheating), or due to a lack of voltage on the chip. Try to raise the frequencies quite a bit - literally by a few MHz; if it doesn’t crash, it means that in your version of overclocking the card didn’t like something very much. Run some heating pad (MSI Kombustor or something similar) and gradually raise the frequency; as soon as it starts to fly off, just gradually raise the voltage and carefully monitor the temperature. If it flies when the same temperature is reached, this is overheating. If the increase in voltage added stability, then there was not enough power.
And yet, keep in mind: if you drive the card, it is likely that your processor will work more slowly (due to its own overheating and resetting frequencies) and the power supply will heat up more (due to the fact that it needs to draw more current from sockets) - and this is far from always safe. Excessive heating of a video card can also lead to other funny bonuses, since everything is very crowded in a laptop: capacitors all over the board swell faster, heat can warp the plastic parts of the keyboard or melt / burn something with exhaust, well, etc. And if If you haven’t cleaned the cooler with the air duct for a long time (never?), then everything will be quite interesting here.

Maybe the vidyaha is smart enough to roll back the changes.
