I am new to Latex and got the following template from my university. When I try 'build and view' in Texstudio, sometimes it works, but most of the time I get the warning "Over-specification in `h'-direction". Can anyone tell me what's going wrong?

\newgeometry{textwidth=540pt,textheight=780pt,top=20pt,left=20pt,right=20pt}

the left and right margins plus \textwidth have to be the paper width, so you can not specify all of them. You can specify left and right and let it work out \textwidth or specify \textwidth and left and let it work out right
