Mobo Dying?

[Xyrock]

I had 2 bluescreens so far since i OCed my computer. but the bluescreens occurs really rarely. once a month or something like that. Dont think the blue screen is because of GPU.

 

The both time it bluescreened is when i play blackdesert online and watch streams or video. the Ram memory takes up to 6+ GB (i have 8gb) so im not sure if its because of that.

CPU load when playing and so on is around 30-70.

 

My Specs:

gtx 980 ti evga hybrid OCed

i7-2600k 4.5ghz OCed WITH Kraken x41 watercooling

8gb Ripjaw 1600Mhz

1tera hdd and 300gb hdd

850w evga supernova b2

 

 

Any ideas why this is happening? or is it normal? shall i stress test my CPU again? and for howlong?

 

EDIT:

 

Under load. CPU temp is below 65 and GPU is below 50 Celcius

So you have both the GPU and CPU oc'd right? If so, have you stress tested both and monitored temperatures to make sure they are stable?

 

If all that is well, then this indeed is strange, doubt its the motherboard, it would do it a lot more often if it was. And no your RAM is not the issue, even if it gets to 8/8GB, it will not blue screen but just slow everything down instead, till it frees up more space.

[Senzelian]

I'm pretty sure this happens because of your overclock.
Just because the GPU was stable in a few stress tests doesn't mean it can't crash anymore.

both are stable when i stress tested them. i even turned a notch down on GPU just to be safe with the articaft and so on.

so you are saying its because of the gpu? My OC on GPU isnt that high compared to the others. havent touched the voltage and anything. +230 core and +475 mem

How long did you stressed it?

What does the GPU boost to, mhz wise in games?

Depending on the chip +230 can be pretty high. There are GPUs that can't even handle +50.

So I would definitly downclock that to around 200 and see if it works then.

well... the thing is. that card is actually a reference card. i bought evga hybrid kit for it to make it cooler. thats why its able to get around 200-250 core mem

[Xyrock]

How long did you stressed it?

around 30 min both. I used Aida64, furmark, heavenbenchmark. then after that i went to witcher 3 to see any artifacts and turned down a little more.

That's sadly not how it works.

Just because your card will run cooler now then before, it still won't be able to achieve higher overclocks.

The chip doesn't care about the temperature it is running on, it just shouldn't get to a temperature where it begins to thermal throttle.

If your chip is able to achieve +200 at 60°C it will be able to achieve +200 at 80°C.

my card is never over 50c. i dont see how it is my cards temperature fault. if it is... shoudlnt it be crashing more often than 1 time in month? im constantly playing high demanding games. i think it would have crashed many more times if the temperature was the blame.

I never said the problem is your temperature.

I'm just saying that it doesn't matter if your card runs at 20C, 50C or 80C regarding the overclock.

Sorry but 30 minutes is nothing. For a stable overclock you have to leave it overnight. I had overclock fail after 14 hours. And even if in real world use you would not push your cpu for 14 hours straight it's still not a stable overclock. So I tuned it a little bit more and now been folding/boinc for the past 2 weeks non stop. Winter is coming

so you are saying my clocks are too high? i have seen and asked other who has the same card. A reference 980 ti CAN achieve 200-250 core mem without touching the voltage. And my card starts to show artifacts and signs at 240 so i turned down to 230 and now its stable without any artifacts.

lol. ill have my CPU stress test for 2h. i think thats enough. and was that last phrase a reference to game of thrones?

Your card is obviously not stable when you get bluescreens.

And just because other people can get such high overclocks it doesn't automatically mean you can get them, too. It all depends on the chip.

Now, you can either lower your clockspeed and give it a try or get a new motherboard and throw a lot of money out of the window.

2 hours might be enough for gaming. I have a rendering machine so need 24/7 stability, Yeah, it was game of thrones   

Not sure if you will be able to fix your BSOD as it will take long time to check if it still happening. It took you a month to experience 2 BSOD. So the the only choice is stress testing for longer periods. If you up for that you should find the problem.

Just because Bob Ross can achieve a certain overclock doesn't mean you can.

You should try telling this stupid logic to those who get chips that can't overclock by a single Mhz...

The world is not fair or equal.

You also seem to not understand what "stable" means. If it blue screens then it's not stable.

and im telling you that my max OC is 240 core unstable. i know how to OC and so on. i just said that this card people usually gets around 200-250 core.

and also... its rly hard to tell if little tweaks on my OC will help at all. cuz the BSOD happens once a month

The only way to truly test this, is to remove the OC and run it like that for a few weeks, if it doesn't BSOD, then you know it was the card. If it does, then we can look at other options.

No, it's clear you have no idea how to overclock.

Your computer has a problem which is shown with it's BSOD, yet you carry on like nothing has happened. That is not how you overclock.
