Thanks i'll see if I do have any installed

Many thanks for your help! I'll definitely try it out once I can get the laptop returned to me from Scan. Also just a quick question, in terms of fan speed what programs would be ideal for manual fan controlling as I would like to have my fans run quicker (not 100%) when gaming just to aid in cooling as I cannot control the fans within the system BIOS unfortunately

During gaming my system temps reached 90C on the CPU and 87C on the GPU, also thanks for replying so quickly!

Hi guys, So I have been having random problems pop up on my MSI laptop and this was the second unit I have had since Christmas last year (First model had an issue but luckily I was able to get an replacement quickly). These problems do not occur within Windows itself and are instead, Isolated to Gaming workloads purely (that's where I experienced the crashing). I would play a game for maybe half an hour to an hour lets say, and then the laptop would have a slight freeze lag {Game FPS drops to 0 for a second) then return to normal. However usually a minute later the whole game stops working completely, but whats also interesting is that the laptop itself doesn't appear to hard lock as when I try to Alt + Tab the menu within Windows does indeed pop up but when I try and select the desktop for example or another program open such as Chrome nothing happens and the screen doesn't want to leave the game. Also for most of the time that this crashing would occur the laptop would make 3 short beeping noises whenever and ONLY when I use the trackpad or the mouse which I thought was also interesting. I'm not sure what is causing this crash to happen and it is VERY hit and miss, one day it is completely fine and able to game for hours non stop without a hick up, but then the next day I can't go for more than an hour without it freezing 2-3 times. Every time the laptop does crash this way I am forced to hold down the power button until the thing turns off and only then does normal behavior return (after the thing restarts of course). Currently my situation is that I have attempted a fresh start within Windows so that none of the MSI programs are on the laptop, I have also sent it into Scan which is the website where I purchased the laptop from and so far they said that they haven't been able to crash it (They have been running games at 4K as well as SuperPosition for hours on loop). Also before I made the fresh start to Windows I noticed within the maintenance log that there were a lot of random crashes logged, typically these were 'LiveKernelEvent 141', however the only time I noticed these on screen was when in game and the screen would flicker black for a fraction of a second and then return to normal. Sometimes I didn't even notice the thing do it before an event was logged down so i'm not sure what happened there. I can say however that since I made the fresh start to Windows, no logs of any sort have been noted so my guess is that problem was fixed? Finally I wanted to put down my laptop specs if anyone needs it; MSI GT62VR 7RE Dom Pro i7-7700HQ 16GB RAM GTX 1070 (Not Max-Q) 256GB SSD 1TB HDD 120Hz Screen w\ G-Sync My apologies on such a long form but I'm really out of options for troubleshooting and I have never encountered any issues of such kind before

I previously had my i5-4690K overclocked to 4.2GHz on 1.2V stable on my Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, i wanted to push it a bit further to 4.4GHz. I have managed to get it there without any blue screens so far or any misbehaviour of the system. The voltage is now set to 1.25 with the max temperature on the hottest core being 68C, just confirming that these settings are safe and I am aware not to go past 1.3 volts which I will not do Thanks!

My i5-4690K is OC to 4.2GHz with a manual voltage of 1.18. I read up that using adaptive mode can lower the voltage when it is not necessary. So using adaptive mode I set the offset voltage to + 0.050 and when i booted back into windows, my voltage after the CPU had finished the loading phase when logging in, my voltage was at 1.2. I also noticed that there is a - sign in adaptive mode and a + sign. When i tried using the - sign, my PC didn't boot into windows. Can someone please help me? Many thanks!

Currently I'm using a hyper 212 Evo and I've started running the test for 24 hours. Out of interest which version of Intel burn test are you using and generally speaking how are your temperatures?

My CPU is running at 4.2 GHz and at 1.17 volts. I'm not going for a high OC right now and currently I am running the prime95 test which outputs the max heat, just as a short test before doing a mixture of tests overnight. My max temp after 10 mins is 68 on the hottest core according to hardware monitor. Is this ok and should the system be stable? Many thanks!

ok thank you, so far i have reached a max temp of 81 when pulling about 100W during the stress test, out of interest is there any real-world scenario where the CPU would use that much energy?

ok thank you, i know this is a bit late but i haven't been able to get back to you, what would you say that a safe temperature is when fully stress testing?

ok thanks i will try it out, also what program would you recommend i use for stress testing the CPU?

Currently i have my 4690K OC to 4.2 GHz on a 1.14V and temps are sitting around 55C with my Hyper 212 Evo, would it be considerable to push the CPU to 4.4 GHz, if so what voltage would be most suitable and stable. Quick note i am using the ASUS Z97-P and the Corsair CS650M so i am not looking to push the CPU too much knowing that this PSU may not be able to handle a higher CPU frequency Many Thanks

thank you, its great to hear that. Thank you for the help

thanks, also out of interest, knowing the temperatures are fine, do you think that my system is being supplied with enough airflow? The case i am using if the Cooler Master CM690III
