Overclock crashing pc
Hi,
I'm experiencing issues with my Pentium G3258 running at 4.2ghz, crashing during streaming and playing Dota 2. I'm curious if adjusting the voltage is the solution mentioned in that forum thread? Thanks.
Keep checking, if it quickly reaches above 80c, it will require stronger cooling capacity.
I experienced another blue screen before, though this one wasn't a traditional blue screen—it was just that the computer went blank and restarted.
The same issue occurred with both instances.
A critical hardware fault has been detected.
Reported by component: Processor Core
Error Source: Machine Check Exception
Error Type: Cache Hierarchy Error
Processor ID: 2
The details section provides more information.
I plan to adjust the voltages next time I stream and observe if it resolves the problem.
Adjusting the CPU voltage a bit higher, but not too much. It seems you have a decent CPU cooler in place. Monitor the CPU temperature during stress tests after increasing the voltage. I'm using the standard cooler; I did a prime 95 for two hours before it reached its maximum of 75°C. I plan to increase the voltage as instructed and then run a prime 95 test tomorrow for about an hour, checking the stable temperature. My CPU typically idles around 30°C, sometimes up to 45°C during gaming and streaming, which is between 60-70°C. The issue I'm facing is mainly while streaming, possibly due to additional power being drawn from the CPU. I was streaming for about eight hours before the computer restarted, which was a long time.
Make sure it doesn't go over 85°C easily; actually, I wouldn't run it at 80°C for long periods.
It's possible to reduce the temperature by lowering the heat, but only a small range of 2-3°C. The best option would be to use an aftermarket cooler for the CPU.
Tomorrow I plan to stream and play while keeping an eye on my temperatures on another monitor.
Keep checking, if it quickly reaches above 80c, it will require more cooling capacity.
