making the bootstrap container size bigger makes the page unresponsive-CodePudding

I need to make the container size of bootstrap bigger. I put this stylesheet to make the container size bigger:

@media (min-width: 992px) {
        .container.max-width-940 {
            max-width: 1390px !important;
        }
    }

 @media (min-width: 1200px) {
        .container.max-width-940 {
            max-width: 1390px !important;
        }
    }

.container.max-width-940

{
    min-width: 1390px !important;
}

and used it in my div tag on my page:

<div  style="background-color:white;border-radius:10px;align-content:center;align-self:center;vertical-align:middle;width:100%" class="container max-width-940 body-content" />

whenever I do that, the page becomes unresponsive. whenever I resize the page, controls and text start coming beyond the screen. Below is my code:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
      <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />

    </div>

below is the screen shot:

and somehow when I resize the screen my navigation bar starts overlapping the conetent of the screen. How can I fix this overlapping and text coming beyond the scren when resizing.

Best way to make the bootstrap container bigger (the width) is the following:

@media (min-width: 1440px) {
    .container {
        max-width: 1240px !important;
    }
}
@media (min-width: 1640px) {
    .container {
        max-width: 1440px !important;
    }
}
@media (min-width: 1840px) {
    .container {
        max-width: 1640px !important;
    }
}
@media (min-width: 2040px) {
    .container {
        max-width: 1840px  !important;
    }
}

$container-max-widths: (
    sm: 700px,
    md: 800px,
    lg: 960px,
    xl: 1140px
) !default;

$grid-breakpoints: (
    xs: 0,
    sm: 576px,
    md: 768px,
    lg: 992px,
    xl: 1400px,
    xxl: 2000px
);

The min-width you're using doesn't work because bootstrap is working with max-width.
