Pc crashes due to overclock!
Pc crashes due to overclock!
Hey guys!
Like many others, I boosted my i5 750 for gaming purposes.
I looked up a setup on YouTube and found this link:

But when I was playing games (GTA IV & GTA V), I couldn’t even run for more than three minutes before my whole PC crashed.
🙁
I’m 100% sure it’s the overclock, because a stress test in CPU-Z shows it shutting down in under five seconds. It was set to 4.0 Ghz with the stock cooler.
Specs:
EVGA CX 430w
Intel core i5 750
Asus GTX 660
Asus P7P55M
8GB RAM
It could be overheating and shutting down to avoid starting a fire...or your overclock might be unstable, requiring you to either reduce the clock speed or increase the voltage for stability. I recommend lowering the clock, as the built-in coolers aren't designed to handle extra voltage. Out of curiosity, who told you to overclock with a stock cooler?
