PC crapping out when folding ?

[Coaxialgamer]

So i can't fold.

 

My pc just shuts off a few minutes after i start folding ....

 

All components are overclocked and tested ( gpu was even used for mining a little bit : like 3 days ).

 

But once i start folding , my computer just shuts off.

 

Tried stressing all the components at the same time , and i crashed...

 

Is this related to folding in any way ( sorry , just started ) and if not , what is the problem ?

Your overclocks are unstable. 

[Coaxialgamer]

Your overclocks are unstable. 

Nope , tested them seperatly and no problem whatsoever . I even added a little voltage, just in case.

[Sakkura]

If it crashes when you stress test CPU and GPU simultaneously, then it's an overall unstable overclock or possibly even a PSU problem. The CX750M generally should be more than plenty for your system, but if a capacitor in it is dying...

well i haven't had a bsod or anything , even while gaming.

 

This is new , My cpu was stable at 1.225V , so i went up to 1.255 , gpu is also stable ( have gamed and mined without any problems ).

 

From what i see , ram usage is about 1.5GB.

 

Gpu stuck at 85C (not much for hawaii), cpu at 68 C.

Folding works differently than synthetic stress tests. Even if all your overclocks are 

stable for 24 hours in any testing software it is not guaranteed it will be stable and

pass while folding. That being said, the system normally shouldn't crash outright.

 

You said you tried testing all the components at the same time and you crashed, 

exactly how were you testing them? with folding or something else? 

 

Either way, remove all your overclocks, every one of them and run folding again,

see what happens. If you have overclocked your ram, remove it. There is so much

to lose and so little to gain.

tested them with synthetic test /games (for the gpu) like furmark and aidia64.

[Synawke]

well you have a CX series PSU and an overclock. the CX PSUs are trash

Well, folding or not. Your system clearly isn't stable then. As other people have mentioned

it can potentially be a psu issue, but there is no reason to assume it is...

 

Start by removing the oc on your ram, just forget about that altogether. Then do the cpu and

start checking for the point of failure.

This isn't true, if tested properly then it will be stable, my testing showed I was stable and F@H hasn't crashed for me once.

[HrutkayMods]

My OCs were tested stable, and F@H crashed 2 minutes into my first WU on my new PC, I had to back my clocks down a good bit to fold. I'm still OC'd but not nearly as much. It's still probably your OC

[tobben]

I am saying it isn't guaranteed, it could cause problems and it might not. Your one single

case of being lucky and having it work straight off the bat doesn't disprove anything.

There are hundreds of people who have not had that experience, me included. 

[Coaxialgamer]

It's been running for a half an hour on stock .No crashes .

 

But i still can't see why a stable component , if under full load , wouldn't be stable when folding.

 

Like i said , the cpu and gpu where stable , ( i use my pc everyday without issue ), the ram was stock , i just forgot to change my sig.

 

I also crash when everything is at full load ( aida64+furmark == cpu +gpu + ram+cache+fpu)

 

I also heard weird noises comming from the pc , but only at the beginning after starting the test . It sounded like crackling or insects or something ( no insects in the PC BTW )

[Coaxialgamer]

Also , the pc usually crashes half an hour after folding starts . It might crash soon for all i know.

Then you're simply not testing correctly. Sorry. It isn't luck, Computers don't create errors, people do.

Isn't aida like a 24 hour test? Did you test for 24 hours? I use Intel Burn Test AVX if it passes that torture, it's stable.

 

[tobben]

Exactly, the people who programmed said computer are anything but perfect, hence we get so many 

strange glitches, errors and irregular behavior. You are in fact mistaken.

 

 

Sure... sure. I'll remember that while my 5ghz OC and my 1620mhz OC on my 970 are scoring me points without returning bad WU or crashing.

I don't understand how that has any relevance at all to the discussion, you might aswell tell me

you don't care because you had potatoes for breakfast. But enough of that. This will only end up

derailing the thread.

Already use intel burn test , and yes , it is stable.

[Benji_w]

Already use intel burn test , and yes , it is stable.

 

On what setting? Standard isn't enough for stability.

Never mind . I tested it on max a few days ago , and looks like it isn't stable anymore...

 

Brought ratio down to 45

If your ram is being overclocked etc then it might be a ram issue, sometimes you can pass but still be slightly unstable, if not that maybe heat and voltage is the issue. Not done any testing with my i5 yet so unsure how heat effects voltage requirements for intel, on AMD it's a different story.
