Overclocking caused a permanent BSOD (Critical process died)
Overclocking caused a permanent BSOD (Critical process died)
Hello, I tried to increase the clock speed of my CPU I7-9700k from 4.6ghz to 4.9ghz. It didn’t stabilize even when using 1.40v (I tested from 1.30 up to 1.40).
I kept adjusting the frequency down to 4.8ghz and 4.7ghz, but each time I encountered a BSOD with Critical Process Died every boot.
After resetting the BIOS, I still faced the same issue. A reset of the CMOS didn’t help either.
I’m getting worried because I’m unsure what to do next. I can still access BIOS, but it won’t let me proceed to Windows.
I hope someone here can assist me.
4GB would be more than enough. I'm facing the same issue you mentioned, and I just set up this system:

Motherboard: ASUS ROG Zenith II Extreme Alpha
RAM: 96GB G.Skill 3200Mhz CAS Lat 14 Quad Channel

Video Card: MSI Gaming X Trio 2080 Ti
Sound Card: Creative...
It's not currently an option due to the recent move and lack of USB access. Could you suggest alternatives? Also, is it feasible to use your Android phone as a bootable USB drive with a USB-C port on your desktop? Regarding storage, does 4GB on your phone provide sufficient space for Linux?

I can’t even open Windows or install it properly; I keep getting BSOD repeatedly. I attempted to boot Ubuntu Studio, but it produced a very fast error and the screen went black instantly.
