System Instability?

GxStorm · Oct 30, 2011

Hi there oc
Im using the rig in the description and Im running in to some problems....
The computer is fresh built, and its like 2 weeks old, and ive been playing a few games and having problems

in half of the games, sometimes they freeze for like 10 seconds, than the screen flicker (like its chancing the resolution, then it goes back to the standard resolution) and then the game goes on normally

Am i runnign in to instability problems??

The CPU is overclocked to 3.8 GHz with cpu voltage at 1.4v and nb frequency at 2600MHz with cpu/nb voltage at 1.2v

What now ?

I do not see any system info.

Oh sorry, but heres the rig

Thermaltake v4 black edition
ASRock 970 extreme4
AMD Phenom 2 x4 955 BE
XFX HD 6870 Dual Fan
OCZ Fatal1ty 550W
SAMSUNG f3 Spinpoint 1TB 32Mb cache

And temps are fine BTW

stock clock everything, run furmark and post the temps of the video card. Run p95 and post your temps for the cpu as well.

Stocked everything, testing as we speak

this will show if it is a heat issue. I suspect you drivers are the problem though.

GxStorm · Oct 30, 2011

Done testing,

CPU on p95 reached a max of 47ºC
GPU on Furmark 1600x1200 8x MSAA extreme stress reached 59ºC with fan at 100% manual

Well its defenettly a clock setup problem, because at stock there are no freezing issues

You didn't include RAM info. in your spec's. Post not only the model number of the modules, but also the quantity, rated frequency, timings, and DRAM voltage. Also include either pic's of CPU-Z open to the Memory and SPD tabs, or the frequency, timings, and voltage at a 3.8GHz clock. Also include a pic. of CPU-Z open to the CPU tab showing the overclocked HT Ref clock and Vcore at 3.8GHz, and include all of the voltage and DRAM sub-timings settings at 3.8GHz from the UEFI.

Yeah and I have been playing with Intel as of late so I forgot 3.8Ghz could be the problem. Try everything at 3.7 because I have heard of very few problems at 3.7.

Found the problem, it was the graphics card OC, but i dont get it, is it a drivers problem??
The GPU can take 950MHz core and 1150MHz memory with good temps....

I dont know whats the issue now??

Help?

GxStorm · Oct 31, 2011

and now BSODs -.-

smells like a driver problem, going to do a clean install

GxStorm · Nov 1, 2011

Did a clean driver install, everything is working good, everything overclocked

No more freezings....

Problem solved I guess

Thanks
