Overclock selectively crashing?

[mezacon]

The problem: Cpu crashing sometimes when using adobe after effects or winrar. Only does this when overclocked

 

Doesn't crash in prime95, benchmarks, handbrake etc...

 

It's probably not ram, I ram memtest overnight and nothing showed up

 

 

Hardware:

Cpu: fx-8320 @4.4ghz

Mobo: Asus m5a97 r.20

Psu: evga 750b (bronze)

Cooler: nh-d14 (running cool, don't worry)

 

 

Settings:

ratio: 22

 

Cpu voltage: 1.300v

 

Cpu/nb voltage: 1.262v

 

Vdda voltage:2.2v

 

turbo core: disabled

 

cpu bus frequency: 200

 

Cpu/nb frequency: 2200mhz

 

Ht link speed: 2400mhz

 

Cpu spread spectrum: Disabled

 

Epu power saving mode: Disabled

 

Cpu LLC: Enabled

 

Cpu/nb LLC: Auto

 

Core c6 state: disabled

 

Hpc mode: enabled

 

Apm master mode: Disabled

 

Help? Suggestions?

Only when OC'd that is your answer right there.

But is there a solution that allows me to somehow keep the overclock? I can try bmwm's suggestion and see if that works eventually.

I've heard others reaching higher with this cpu/mobo combo, unless I just lost the silicone lottery and didn't get one of the lucky ones.

I think I fixed it! woo!

 

 

Re-installed bios, then cleared cmos then added 0.05 voltage to cpu and bam running prime95 two winrar jobs and never passed 117F (47c)!
