Fx6300 of problem

[H3n0420]

This is the weirdest thing I've ever experienced.. I had my fx 6300 ocd to 4.4ghz then I reinstalled windows... Now the display flashes on and off 3-8 times then kicks me to windows log on. I can sometimes keep it on if I enable all the power save features like cnq c6e n what ever, but I can't get it to 4.4 with those on I end up at like 3.9ghzish. Before the reinstall of windows I was able to leave occt on all night no prob ocd at 4.4ghz

Did you do the install when overclocked ?

 

[H3n0420]

Hmm, yea, I don't think I restored the bios to default before installing

 

[caddi daddi]

you get to do it again, all at default.

Is that an issue? I don't think I've ever run into that problem before.
Is it an issue with pseudostable/unstable overclocks, or all overclocks?

only for unstable clocks but it is good practice to use stock clocks when installing .

It is a good practice but I personally have not had a problem installing Window on overclocked computers as long as the overclock is stable in the first place. In this scenario, I certainly would try it again at stock, however. Make notes of current overclock settings first in order to restore it after the installation if you want.

Do you have another video card you can try? And could it be a problem with the display?

 

[H3n0420]

Yea, it happens with my old one also, not a GPU problem

And why did you need to reinstall Windows in the first place? What was going wrong?

 

[H3n0420]

Had some pesky adware or something. Had like 14 extensions I couldn't get rid of so I just did a clean install

Did you install the same version of windows?

You mean browser extensions? If so, sounds like a huge malware problem.
