ok so i have an odd issue that has me stumped. i have a gigabyte X58a-ud3r revision 2 motherboard. alongside 6 sticks of 8gb ddr3 ram and a xeon w3690. had the cpu overclocked to 4.3Ghz but heres what has me stumped
sometimes if i reboot the pc and enter the bios i get this message
I get this error message - The system has experienced boot failures because of overclocking or changes in voltage. Latest settings in BIOS my not coincide with current H/W states. And then it gave me stats that basically said what my RAM and CPU was now running at
ok a few things to note here
this doesnt happen all the time it happens once in a blue moon usually if i restart the pc during windoes startup or if the computer fails to boot to windows or boobs to the repair screen which isnt often
if i go back into the bios and reset it to my over clock settings and reboot all is well
now when the pc was overclocked i was able to play games like shadow of the tomb raider and doom 2016 for several hours with no stability issues
the last thing i did was reboot this pc and when i booted into windows cpu-z reported that my cpu was back to stock settings any idea whats causing this issue
also if i wanna retest my overclock to ensure its stable under prime95 do i do the blend test or the small FFTs?
thanks for your time im stumped
below are pix showing my overclock settings in-case it helps
i should also mention that the pc never self reboots meaning i can leave the pc on for a full 24 hours game on it watch movies surf the web and it never blue screens or restarts on its own but sometimes if i reboot or shutdown the PC wait a few mins then turn it back on and load windows 10 the overclock will have reverted back to stock settings?
any ideas what the issue is thanks for your time oh and my specs are in my signature below
lastly i know in one of the pictures it says turbo is disabled i have since fixed that issue so hyper threading is in fact turned on even tho the pic says otherwise
