Did your CPU overheat or malfunction?
Hi, I see you're having some issues with your PC. Let's go through what might be happening. It sounds like you've been overclocking both the GPU and CPU, which can sometimes cause instability. The fact that your system resets to default after stress tests suggests a hardware issue rather than just software settings. Since you've already tried reinstalling drivers, changing the OS, and running stress tests without success, it's possible the CPU or motherboard is damaged. The BSoD message indicates a critical error, possibly related to overheating or power issues. You might want to check the CPU temperature with a thermal monitor and consider professional diagnostics. If you're unsure, it's best to consult a technician or support center for further assistance.
The overclock doesn’t appear to harm your CPU. Did you reset the CMOS, and have you tried any troubleshooting steps?
Reset the CMOS, launch Windows, execute a chkdsk /r. Likely need to reinstall graphics drivers afterward. Consider running memtest 86+ and inspecting RAM. There seems to be an issue, so let's begin eliminating possibilities.
Reset CMOS. Begin with a test. If it works, celebrate! If not, open a Command Prompt as an administrator and run: sfc /scannow. You’ll see a message at the end indicating whether any issues were found or fixed. If the warning appears, restart Windows and keep your files intact. You’ll need to reinstall programs, but your data remains safe, and this should fix the problem.
I haven't cleared the Cmos yet, but I've completed all the other tasks you suggested. Thanks for your assistance—I really appreciate it!
I haven't reset the CMOS yet, I'll do it now. Thanks for the assistance—I really appreciate it!
I'll attempt it now, thank you for your assistance—I appreciate it.
