XMP & Crash issues

[Greffel]

Hi guys!

 

I've recently upgraded my computer. And now I am experiencing issues.
The first problem is that my PC randomly restarts even if the machine is in idle or under full load. I do only get one error from my event viewer. Kernel Power 41 (63)

This error do only happen after I activate the 5-way optimization using Dual Intelligent Processors 5. It makes my processor to run in 4.5ghz instead of the default 4.2ghz.

Through my experience is the temperatures not the problem since I am well under 70 Celsius.

My other problem is the Xmp profile in bios. When I use the profile which should get my ram to 3200mhz it doesn't post. I did use the profile before I updated bios and it posted fine.

I would really appreciate help! If you need anymore information please let me know.

 

Specs:

CPU: Intel - Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor

Motherboard: Asus - STRIX Z270-E GAMING ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory
Video Card: Asus - GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Video Card

Power Supply: Unknown brand - 550w

OS: Windows 10 Pro

 

Best regards, Greffel

Dont use the cancer software. Disable everything and do all overclocking from BIOS

Well the only problem I have with that is I am new to the overclocking scene. Thanks anyway!

No excuse it literally takes minutes to obtain a decent overclock with only watching a few video's on the subject, take my word for it I just built 2 Ryzen pc's back to back a few months back it was a breeze and had 0 knowledge of overclocking, then learn as you go to obtain the sweet spot your cpu will offer!

Okay, I will do it manually but do you know anything about the xmp profile?

It's an overclocking profile but before you mess with your ram set everything in the bios back to optimized defaults save and reboot to confirm it has been reset then ditch the software overclocking crap it is wonky at best you want to start overclocking your CPU first in the BIOS go in increments starting with 100Mhz and working your way up you should and must stress test every time you make a change to confirm stability no need to mess with voltage yet get to the threshold of instability with stock voltage then if you want to gain even more tweak the voltage a bit then go back and up the clock till unstable again watch the temps during this as that will be a wall dependent on your cooling solution after all that then go for a memory overclock but don't forget you have the option of saving OC profiles and I recommend you do that way if it craps the bed during additional changes you can reload that profile that worked.
