Computer Crashing while F@H

If my computer crashes while i F@H (the screen just freezes) is that some issue with folding at home or my overclock? Because I've noticed whenever i overclock and run a stress test and my machine freezes i just increase the voltage. I'm just a little concerned because i'm almost to 1.6V on my CPU

1.6V is waaaayy too high if you want to destroy your cpu you should keep it there, but else turn it down asap xD F@h doesn't really like overclocks, so that could also be part of hte problem you're experiencing.

Folding is really picky about overclocks, and it stresses systems in a different way to standard benchmarks. The best thing to do would be to remove the overclock(s) and see if it crashes then

 

Also 1.6V is pretty excessive IMO, I'd turn that down if I were you

ok. ive been pushing it up just because of F@H (im at about 1.56V). Ill try turning it off later and see how it goes

Your overclock is too agressive, you need to do some tuning in your bios. Tbh with you folding with the FX cpu is pretty pointless.
