BSOD occurs after restarting, freezing during BIOS configuration.
Hi! Here are your PC specifications again:
AMD x4 860k with overclocked to 4.6ghz and ~1.46 volts (when issue began)
AsRock FM2+ A88X Pro3+ motherboard
1x8gb Team Elite memory
Seagate Barracuda 2tb HDD and Seagate Momentus 4600 250gb HDD
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
EVGA Superclocked GTX 960 4GB
The problem is: I was already overclocked to 4.4ghz and everything was fine. Temperatures were normal, no issues at first. I tried increasing voltage slightly and frequency to 4.6ghz. But after the system restarted, I encountered a BSOD. After a hard reset into BIOS, it froze and didn’t respond for 30 minutes. I’m not sure what to do next and would really appreciate any advice.
I'm not certain about the optimal approach here, but if I found myself in this scenario, I'd likely attempt a CMOS reset. It would clear your BIOS settings, including any failed overclocking attempts.
