Prime95 small ffts v26.6 12 hours
XTU 12 hours stress test
CPU-Z stress test 12 hours
ROG realbench 12 hours
All tests completed for 12 hours and remained stable for more than a week. However, today I opened the PC, watched a YouTube clip, and the computer shut down abruptly—no blue screen or any issues. After restarting, the screen returned to the default settings. How can I make my overclock stable? :SSS
EDIT: Unclear why the crash occurred... I’ve been watching YouTube for 15 minutes since then.

■ Disconnect power cord, remove motherboard battery, press and hold case's power button for 5 seconds to erase fail CMOS data, pause 15 minutes, then press and hold case's power button for 5 seconds, wait another 15 minutes.
■ Reconnect battery, power on, enter BIOS, adjust time and date, save changes and exit, attempt to play the game, if freezing persists.
■ Utilize self tester (included with PSU), follow steps to read each connector output (A). If all appear correct, check for faulty motherboard component, software conflict (a) or another possible issue (I).
■ Possibly the problem lies with a faulty cable; consider purchasing a new one. If replacement doesn't resolve the issue,
■ Reach out to the re-seller or vendor for warranty support.

■ Disconnect the power cord, remove the motherboard battery, press and maintain the case’s power button for 5 seconds to erase failed CMOS information, then wait 15 minutes, after which press and hold the power button for 5 seconds again, waiting another 15 minutes.
■ Reconnect the battery, power on the system, enter BIOS settings, adjust time and date, save changes, exit, attempt to launch the game. If freezing persists.
■ Employ a self-test tool (available with PSU) to read each connector output (A). If all indicators are correct, check for faulty motherboard parts or software conflicts (A), or another component (I).
■ Inspect your motherboard closely for anomalies such as a weak surface, scratched copper traces, bent CPU socket pins, etc. Note when the freeze occurs—was it from the start or developed later?
■ Access Windows without running any applications or updates. Use a driver removal tool to fully clear all graphics card drivers. This will prompt a restart; if the game loads with the built-in driver library, proceed. If issues continue, uninstall the Windows VGA driver and reinstall the original one. Persistent problems suggest a deeper hardware fault.
