Computer crashes during stock OC operations (error logs)
Computer crashes during stock OC operations (error logs)
I ran a couple of benchmark tests to see what configs I get better scores with. Whenever I overclock my CPU to factory OC (All cores 4.6ghz) I crash. Here is the link to the entire error log of both instances. I ran a benchmark, crashed, rebooted and ran another benchmark undervolted and crashed again. I know this is a huge bunch of data but I have no idea what I am looking at. I am sure that someone in this forum knows what to search for! I am wondering if my PSU is too low for my specs?

If you notice crashes during stability tests, it suggests the overclock isn't stable and you need to either lower the clock speeds or boost the voltage. Given that 4.6GHz is already quite high for a Ryzen, pushing it even higher could damage the processor. Every Ryzen doesn't run at the same speed, and dropping just a tiny bit like 0.1GHz won't have much impact in real-world use.
Check the documentation you are using during overclocking. Ensure the desired OC values are compatible. The system may crash as a protective measure.
For troubleshooting, review Reliability History and Event Viewer for error codes, warnings, and events. Begin with Reliability History—it’s more intuitive and the timeline format is helpful. Identify any critical events that occurred during OC testing or trials. Which Event IDs are you encountering?
