I updated to Windows 10 preview ver. 10130 and went to oc my g3258 in my bios but after i made all my changes and restarted booting back into my bios the settings were as I left them however my cpu speed was still stock. I booted into windows and checked with cpuz and confirmed it was reporting stock settings. I left it there figuring it wasn't reporting the correct speeds since my temperature rose as to it's normal point like it does with the overclock then I started to get random reboots every 5 minutes. Is anyone else having issues overclocking in windows 10 preview?

 

I currently have the g3258 at stock, tried to go to 4.0, easily can do it. MSI sli + mobo that i was using in windows 7 when I was able to overclock to my hearts content. I can still oc my gpu same as before however.

Check if any power saving features are enabled in windows.

Confirm the same error doesn't happen on Win8/7

No, I didn't have any issues ocing in 7. I never went to 8, tried it and didn't like it so I reverted. I disabled all power saving features in the bios. So then with windows 10 and my bios this chip is pretty much gimped. Nice. Well I'll be upgrading here soon anyways but nice to know I will need a new board if I want to oc. I'll upgrade to a newer build of 10 and see if that fixes it.

I was talking about power saving features in Windows specifically, they should be in control panel under.... idk... Power Options

update your bios first

the reset to factory settings

then shut off the pc

then go back into the bios and do your overclockiing and save settings

If you need remote help fixing something on your computer

I can help over Teamviewer if you wish

just msg me on my profile
