Overclock stable except for...

[Guest]

My 4.5Ghz overclock on my 6600k has been stable in every test and game I've thrown at it for a year and a half, but for some reason when I'm playing Subnautica and also screensharing it over skype, I sometimes get a blue screen, and when rebooting, it takes me to a weird page and says "Overclocking failed, press __ to enter setup". Pressing the button does nothing and when I restart again, everything's fine. Is this actually my overclock or some kind of problem related to the game and skype not playing along? It's using full screen share, not window specific. For now I've resorted to making a shortcut on my taskbar to turn off my overclock when I play that game. (you make your cpu limit 99% in power settings and it basically turns off your turbo mode, then just make a power mode shortcut).

What does the BSOD say? What other stress tests have you used to verify stability?

I should have clarified, but it isn't the usual BSOD, it's like a weird blank one and it makes a loud buzzing sound in headphones, then PC shuts down. Similar thing happened with my old PC's audio drivers where it would do that when I unplugged my headphones. I've used Aida64 (every test many times, still doesn't crash now), Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, Cinebench, tons of games, and a copious amount of encoding at 100% load.

It sounds like more of a bug than an unstable OC then. Mayyybe a bad memory OC, but probably a bug. I'd try updating Skype, and your Video drivers. I mention the drivers since you're playing the game when it crashes. You could try to isolate the issue by using Skype to share while playing another game, or using another sharing program while playing Subnautica. That would give you some direction on if one crashes, but not the other, or they all do. If they all do then something would be unstable.

Sharing other games with skype works, including streaming with OBS too. Memory is just at the rated 2400Mhz (Ripjaws V DDR4 2x8GB). The game has updated twice since the last time I tested it, and I've got a new GeForce driver now, gonna try it again, wish me luck

Yikes, no luck, but got some info.

"win32kfull.sys

SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION"

Doesn't do it when turbo + overclock are disabled, should I tone down my clock to 4.4?

That error indicates to me that the service is crashing, and its hosing your stability. I don't think its your overclock. Seems like a software issue.

Any recommendations? I'm not sure how I'd fix that.

Sorry for the double post. If you were lacking stability you'd like like Driver_IRQL_Not_Equal or something. That is a software error, of that i'm like 98% certain.

You'd have to be a programmer to fix the unhandled exception in their program.
