Overclocking stability

@RONOTHAN##  I lied, everything is stable now, but youtube, just youtube crashes it (with the OC) how do I avoid this?

Does no OC crash YouTube as well? If yes, you likely have some hardware issues, though technically a bad iGPU driver could cause this. If no, my first though would be something GPU related as YouTube should be hardware accelerated, though what OCs are you currently running?

No but F@H crashed twice last night no OC

 

My OC when YT crashes is:

Ram: 6000 CL36

Core voltage offset -0.05V

Disable PL2

All core 5.5/4.4

iGPU(Intel UHD 770) 2100MHz, 1.025V

Then you're not stable. I would disable the OCs and work on figuring out why that's happening before trying to overclock anything in the system.

Ok, anything else I can do before reaching out to the manufacterers?

I mean, you could try yet another BIOS revision to see if it helps, as well as a Windows reinstall, but odds are either the motherboard or the CPU is slightly defectively.

 

You could see if the RAM is maybe the issue, try a single stick running F@H overnight alternating which stick and slot is installed to see if the issue goes away, though I don't know how well that would go.

Ok thanks

@RONOTHAN##  I think it was something else, I moved everything to BIOS and it was fine so yay but also screw you intel. Passed youtube and im going to check with some other stresstests but yeah

Sorry to bother you with this once again but I was good for more or less a month and not changing anything for the most part (minus more of an undervolt) verified by F@H, linpack extreme and fortnite (the compiler is really good with detecting CPU instability for some reason) it did it again. Please help

Before anything, just to confirm that it crashed without the undervolt? If there was an undervolt, disable that first and see. If not, then you should RMA either the CPU or motherboard.

Ok thanks, yeah it crashed a couple times without anything but this is out of the blue, it was fine for like 3 weeks, then all of a sudden 2 crashed WUs (this happened last night when I was sleeping) and event viewer says 3 crashes. Any reason why?

There isn't any software reason that I can think of for this to happen, so there is something that is faulty with the system. My first guess would be the motherboard, but it could be the CPU or RAM as well (though given you've already done a bit of RAM stability testing, I'd be hesitent to call it bad RAM).

Ive done everything I can think of to the RAM and CPU, no idea how to test a MB though

It's really tested through exclusion. If the CPU and RAM are fine, and you're having weird stability issues, it's probably the motherboard.

Im going to call MSI, cranked the voltage -> blue screen, defaults -> blue screen
