Minor Code 95 Concern - What does this mean?

Volkamar · October 14, 2018

So I just had my computer crash on me. Not a hard crash or force shutdown dealio, but everything just slowed to a crawl and I couldn't close any Windows, Task Manager would not response, and a Restart/Shut Down via Windows did not work either. In the end, I had to force a Shut Down physically, and upon rebooted, was greeted with an "Overclock Failed" message.

I have not overclocked my machine, but regardless, I went into the BIOS and checked to make sure nothing was amiss. After establishing that everything was how I left it, I went to Exit and Restart and... I got Error Code 95 (ASUS Rampage V Extreme). I turned it off. Waited 10 seconds. Then turned it back on and... same again. This time I left it for 10 minutes and came back, and I got the overclock failed message again. This time around I tried a small overclock from 3.3ghz to 3.4ghz, that didn't work, and so the next time around I set it back to 3.3ghz and it then booted back into Windows with apparently no harm or fowl.

But the whole debacle has me a little worried. Is there anything wrong with my machine, or was this just a case of a program just did not play ball and decided to have a monumental wobbly?

If you don't have any overclocks, I'd chalk it up to a software problem.

The horror that comes when Task Manager doesn't respond...
