Hi there,
i bought an AMD Bulldozer FX 6100 which came yesterday.
i installed it with a Corsair H60 Cooler, and Overclocked it to 4.1Ghz (increasing by x0.5 each time of course.
today, i installed some LED strips, which after installing i booted up and i saw half bios and half login background picture.
i restarted the PC and went into Bios (it thankfully worked on 2nd boot) and i restore to optimal defaults, then restarted pc.
it came up to desktop and i loaded a game World of Wrcraft to be exact.
then it froze and i had to turn PC off.
i then restarted it after waiting 10mins. and at the post bios with "start windows normally" i selected startup repair.
it repaired, then restarted, got to desktop and installed the CPU again (by asking for restart).
and once i got to the WoW game this time, it blank screened and buzzed then i turned off the PC.
the next step i am going to take is reseating my Graphics card, as i think that could be the cause of the problem (i was thinking about it while typing this thread) i will repost underneath if it has fixed it or not.
System Specs:
AMD Bulldozer FX 6100 CPU (At stock settings now)
Corsair H60 Watercooler
GTX 550 Ti GPU
Gigabyte 970A-DS3 Mboard
650W PSU
8GB Corsair Vengeance RAM (@1600Mhz)
500GB HDD (getting more)
Coolermaster Storm Scout Mid Case
