Computer freezes when running Prime95

Creating Chunks · May 6, 2012

I've been running Prime95 randomly for a few hours at a time to ensure stability. I've been trying to get voltages down cause i dont wanna over-volt anything. Not really sure what safe levels are for my equipment. But every once in awhile while running Prime95 my computer will freeze. Screen is still on and displaying properly, but everything is frozen. No mouse or keyboard input is shown.

Anyone know whats going on?

Heat Issue? Could be more than the components can handle?

Creating Chunks · May 6, 2012

My temps have been pretty stable, haven't seen it above 55*C. I still have no clue.

have you tried putting curtain components back to stock and try again?? WOuld be able to tell if the clocks/volts are to high or something else.

Would it help if i posted pics of my BIOS set up?

What would help more at this point is to attach screen shots of CPU-z tabs: "CPU", "Memory" and "SPD". That will give us loads of info about your system and bios settings.

Ok give me a sec, its gonna be pics cause my internet is down, I'm on my phone.

what are you using to check temps?

Creating Chunks · May 7, 2012

Core temp with an offset of +20*C

Creating Chunks · May 7, 2012

I don't see how its a heat issue, I'm running well below the max temp for this CPU

Creating Chunks · May 7, 2012

This is what I have it clocked to.

Running prime95 with CPU-z open shows my core speed randomly fluctuating from 3020 MHz to 4429 MHz

Bump for still not solved

Creating Chunks · May 7, 2012

Should i bump up the FSB? or what? Im still lost on what to do.

Maybe post it over in the overclocking section, see what they have to say. They're the specialists. Just include the photos in the first post you do.

Ok thanks!

Mr.Guvernment · May 7, 2012

usually if your system freezes while overclocking it doesnt have enough power going to the chip.. how much are you chaging the voltage by at a time?

you could also PM a mod and just ask them to move this thread.

Creating Chunks · May 7, 2012

I am changing the voltage in the smallest intervals possible. Is there a max recommended voltage for the 6100?

Automata · May 7, 2012

I've moved the thread to the AMD processor section.

please turn off cool and quiet in the bios.
