Overclocking with G3258 and Asus H81M-A.
Overclocking with G3258 and Asus H81M-A.
I've checked multiple threads on various forums looking for help with my problem, but I haven't found a solution yet.
My setup includes an Intel G3258 processor and an Asus H81M-A motherboard.
Changing the clock speed in the BIOS doesn't allow me to boot into Windows 7; it jumps straight to the "Starting Windows" screen and then restarts.
I also used the Asus Power and Performance software, which has an "extreme" setting that I think increases the clock speed to 3.6ghz (noticing a change in the BIOS after clicking it), but this caused the PC to crash too.
I'm still trying to figure out what might be missing or causing this issue.

It seems there might be something missing, though I can't identify what it is.
I've observed the same issue with my G3258 and ASUS H81M-E in Windows 7...

I've seen the same issue with my G3258 and ASUS H81M-E in Windows 7. My G3258 runs XP, but I had to install Windows 7 temporarily to edit my video BIOS. Since the system is strictly an XP machine and I don’t have that issue, I recommend updating the BIOS.
I might have solved my own issue. Even though I'm not using Windows 10, I went through the same steps you shared.
I'm currently running the stress tests at 4.4ghz.
Interesting. I'll remember this if I ever need to switch to a newer system later.
