Computer stability problems

Go to solution Solved by DEM0N Assassin,

In my case, the solution was a couple of steps.

 

1. Set CPU overclock to stock settings

2. Make sure ram is stable or at stock

3. Set SoC voltage to 1v

4. Set the PCIe lane mode to 8x2 instead of 16x1 in advanced settings in the BIOS

5. Reset graphics driver COMPLETELY:

 

   1. Open "Programs and Features" in control panel

   2. Look for all the nvidia apps

   3. Uninstall the graphics driver only (for now)

   4. Reboot into safe mode

   5. Uninstall graphics card from "Device Manager" in "Display Adapter"

   6. Go to "Programs and Features" and uninstall everything related to nvidia except the physX driver (you can't delete it in safe mode)

   7. Reboot computer into normal windows

   8. Reinstall graphics driver

 

 

 

This completely solved my stability issues. Thanks!

Should I increase my voltage then?

Well check that performance boost is off

Check you load line calibration is set to high or the equal of

Check you SoC voltage. 

Ram voltage may or may not need to be higher. [ why we ask you to check stability with the ram of first]

[Or drop your ram speed down to default and focus on CPU first] 

 

Now you can decide your cpu voltage I've seen people get 4ghz at 1.1 and others get it at 1.4

Watch your temps

Try ddu

Check temps

I have reinstalled the NVIDIA drivers numerous times and it never solved anything. The temps of my system are fine. GPU at full load is always 79-81 and my cpu goes from 69-77 under full stress test load. Mobo temps are around 41-47 and the rest of the system is at normal and operational temps.

I don't know much about load line calibration or SoC. Could you give me a little more insight into what they should be set to.

Also what performance boost are you talking about. I need to know exactly what i'm setting.

Soc voltage it's pretty much the memory controller voltage

If it's anything above 1.1 that's a red flag

My SoC right now at full load stress test is exactly 0.912v minimum and maximum

But what is load line calibration. I've heard of that term before but I don't know what it means.

Well that's a little low 

Try 1 and check 

If that doesn't work try 1.1 anything over is not safe

It defines quality of the power being sent

I agree 1v even on SoC should be good

What do you mean if 1 doesn't work for SoC. Do you mean instability or if the voltage reading is different?

I mean if 1 wasn't stable try 1.1 but anything over isn't advised 

If 1.1 didn't work well then you lost the silicon lottery sadly

Just set SoC to 1v. And we can try you cpu ⚡. Maybe 1.350v

Okay i set the soc to 1v and the voltage reading is 0.987v exactly

I am currently running my CPU on auto settings so there is no overclock at the moment

 

edit: take that back for some reason my VID is still 1.3 and my clock speed hasn't changed. I set it to auto but for some reason it just didn't register. I'll try to get my cpu to auto settings.

Run test with Doc at 1v. It should pass no problem

I'll run it for 10 minutes and see how that goes.

My system was on manual overclock (not on purpose, I wasn't aware) the whole time I was doing the stress test and it did it no problem. My overclock could handle the stress test. The overclock was 4ghz on 1.3v

No I ran a stress test on the overclock already before hand for an hour and it passed no problem. I'll hop into some games and see how that goes.

Okay just ran a game of overwatch and nothing happened. To be fair, I have vsync on so i'm gonna turn that off and go to another game.

Alright another game of overwatch and no issues so far. Could it be that it was just a soc voltage issue?

I'll be using my pc on these settings and if there are no issues i'll mark it as solved
