Blue screen with any overclock
Blue screen with any overclock
Hardware details are as follows:
Psu - cx750m
Mobo- GA-970A-DS3P-FX (the version with the FX at the end is uncommon - https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-...-FX-rev-21)
Cpu - fx8350
CPU cooler is a raijintex air cooler
Gpu strix 1060 (6gb)
Ram - corsair vengeance 1866 (2x 8gb)
Window 10 64
The case includes five well-set fans.
My questions remain:
- What overclocking level would provide a stable and safe operating temperature? (A temperature around 4.8 on air seems acceptable)
- Is there a way to resolve my current problem?
I chose to attempt overclocking because I’m new to it and did some research. Without overclocking, I can run Prime 95 without exceeding the CPU temperature above 44°C, so I thought pushing it up was safe. However, I consistently encounter a blue screen. After turning off cooling and setting boost to 4.3, I tried adjusting the base clock and using AMD Overdrive instead of BIOS. Both methods resulted in a blue screen before or immediately after launching programs. I didn’t modify any voltage settings, as recommendations suggested that minor overclocking might not require changes. I’m certain there’s something missing in the advanced frequency settings—perhaps a setting I overlooked. Please let me know if you can clarify which parameters need adjustment to help. Thank you ahead of time.
FSB/BCLK also overclocks RAM and PCIe and that can cause issues.
You're still experiencing the same problem on 4.1 without the boost enabled, resulting in a blue screen.
