Hardware issue identified in Prime 95 during speed adjustment.
I recently took apart my computer to do a thorough cleaning and improvement on my cable management. After I put my computer back together I got in any game and soon after starting it would crash, this escalated to getting the BSoD quite frequently even when I was only trying to log into windows. The error codes on the BSoD were always changing each time and this became a cycle of restarting until I turned off the computer. I tried taking my hardware out to localize the problem but nothing worked, not even reseating my cpu, gpu, ram, or taking out all my power connections and cleaning and putting them back in. I even did a factory reset on windows. killing all of my previous files. I found that once I turned off my OC that it fixed the problem, but once I turned it back on the BSoD persisted, I've used OC on this rig for a while but this is a new issue. I have just recently started using prime 95 as was recommended to me in an earlier thread. When I am not overclocking my cpu I can run it for a complete 12 hours and not have an issue. however once I start OCing things change. The smallest FFTs has no issues but once I use small and large FFts I get the hardware failure detected. The blending test does cause the failure as well. What does this mean? Do I need to test my ram and put different ram in my current system? Thank you for your help! Parts list: CPU: i5 6600k GPU: GTX 1070 MOBO: Asus Z170-A CPU Cooler: Kracken X61
Your overclock is showing instability. I assumed you'd notice it disappears when you remove it.
