Are there issues with the boot process caused by overclocking?
So I recently forgot to install an aftermarket air cooler on my FX 6300 with 4 ghz, and everything was very stable, temperatures stayed in the high 50s and sometimes low 60s. My RAM was also overclocked to 1600 from 1333.
My system worked fine until I switched to Linux, which I installed on a separate partition. After coming home, my computer went into sleep mode but wouldn’t wake up. I tried restarting, but nothing appeared, though the Ubuntu sound and keyboard LEDs flashed when I pressed keys similar to those on my mouse and the dpi switch.
I searched for a fix and had to reset my CMOS, which helped temporarily. Now, when logging into Linux, I can’t use my mouse or keyboard, but it works on Windows. I think it might be a software problem—possibly corrupted files—but I’m not sure if it’s hardware-related. I’m using a cheap GT710 because my GPU overheated, and I don’t think power issues are the main concern since I have a 650-watt PSU. Have anyone else had a similar experience? Is this related to the overclock?
If something functions in one operating system but not in another, you can attribute it solely to the OS and often to the drivers.
