It can, yes. Usually, the screen will show a bunch of garbage, then crash - if it's set too low. Generally, once you go below 325MHz on modern cards, you're in a territory where the card may crash. It's possible MSI AB was displaying the DDR memory speed, which is probably 2x or more greater than the speed most commonly used to report GPU mem speed. (so, it's possible that Trixx reported it in the common way, which could be 700MHz if displaying mem speed in "DDR" speed, which it's possible MSI AB is doing)
Try 650MHz. Fwiw, I don't believe you can cause any permanent damage by underclocking or overclocking mem speeds -- only problem comes from overvolting & high temps.
