Whenever I attempt to overclock my computer works fine for like 5 minutes then says windows has encountered an error and then shuts down. Then i get a black screen and it takes a while to get it back to defaults.

Idk if its something with windows or with the Mobo or the Cpu

My Cpu is an AMD FX 6-100 and my motherboard is ASRock 960GM-GS3 FX

Thank you in advance for your help/ suggestions

 

Hope I could help!

Specs: CPU: AMD FX-8320 @4.0ghz GPU: ASUS DCUII GTX 770 PSU: EVGA Supernova 750g CASE: Fractal Define R4 RAM: 8 Gigabytes ADATA 1333 Mhz MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3

What are your overclocking settings? Are you running a stock or aftermarket cooler?

Are you upping the voltage? when you up the multiplier?

Sounds like an unstable overclock, need more information.

  • multiplier + mem bus
  • voltage
  • cooler
  • temps

If I had to hazard a guess to fix it either drop the multiplier by 1 or increase the vcore slightly. (Also is this crashing with 5mins of prime 95 or just 5mins of general use?)

One final question have you overclocked your ram as well (if so brand of ram, voltage and speed of overclock on that would be helpful).

it crahes 5 minutes after just general use. i have a coolermaster silent air cooler but surprisingly it keeps it pretty cool. Ive tried to OC to 4.0ghz and I did multiplier and the voltage. on 100% the CPU gets 44 Celcius.

Hope I could help!
