BSODing in games / after games

[Mr.Dingle]

Hello there LTT community. 

 

I have a weird issue going on with my PC . 

 

Basically i have done a fresh install of Win10 64bit after having issues with Win7 BSODing the heck even on stock settings , which i thought was a CPU overheating issue . ( turns out its just a part of the problem )

 

Since then i have installed a AIO from Antec whiched helped out alot with temperatures . 

 

But what happnes now is , either while in a game ( CSGO for example , annoyed the heck out of me today because it crashed 3 times in a competitive match ) , or after playing the game and idling in the desktop.

 

CPU temps never go above 46.C while doing CSGO or less intensive games ( 1.156V 4.2Ghz all cores ) , and GPU had max around 60.C ( VRMs hovering around 69 and 70 )

 

Could this be a sofware issue ? Also , all drivers have been updated , and my motherboards BIOS .

Might want to stop overclocking it may be due to overheating. Look at the error code it gives you and post here.

Sorry it may not even be overheating it may be just unstable clock check your chipset temps as well.

Well i have tested the voltage (manual setting)  in occt and xtu and it didnt crash. 

 

Since it was stable i switched over to adaptive voltage mode to help lower the idle temps and its stable in games like BF4 / Crysis 3 but  crashes in CSGO or similar low demanding games . 

 

It  crashed in youtube too but i fixed that by disabling some http thing in chrome with a plugin .

Well all of your parts are compatible. Just stress testing for a few minutes doesn't mean a cpu is stable (not trying to say you are wrong) but I recommend testing an overclock for at least one to two hours to get accurate reads on temps and voltages for every part of your pc including your mobo

Try running at stock first and if it still occurs try MemTest86 (http://www.memtest86.com/) to see if it's a RAM problem.

Okay , did 1 hour in intel XTU on memory and CPU individually , CPU top temp was 52.C , and both tests passed . 

 

Also did an hour of OCCT , and that passed too . ( in both cases i went to bios and switched to manual voltage , so i dont fry the chip when adaptive tries to draw too much , 1.156V with manual and top voltage for adaptive , while the lowest the adaptive setting went by its own was 0.705V while idling in desktop. )

 

 

Memtest68 il try to install today after school , and see what it has to say. If i understood correctly , i need to get a USB Stick , create a bootable file on it , and then boot it from BIOS in order to start the test ? 

 

Also , i dont get a BIOS error code , the screen just freezes up OR i get the windows popup saying there was a problem with the PC and it would restart it for me ...

Doing more stability testing is good, but to truly rule out the OC you should reset to stock and see if that affects the problem. If this is something that happens 3 times in once match, it should be quickly clear if that did anything.

 

I once had an OC that easily survived 3 days straight of Aida64 but that bsod'ed on any game load that lasted for more than 5 minutes.

Sorry for the wait , but got it fixed . Messing around with the voltages and settings in bios , i settled for 4.2Ghz @ 1.187V ( a bit higher than before ) , and this seems to have fixed the BSOD issues . 

 

Been stress testing it and playing intensive games for a week now , never got a single BSOD .
