Random freezing after OC
Random freezing after OC
The issue is still unclear, though. Could it be a coincidence? Your power supply seems to be a potato. When trying to handle the increased power from the CPU after applying OC settings, it has harmed your hard drive. Please switch to a better power supply before expecting system improvements.
When a SMART error appears, back up right away. Don’t turn off the system before backing up. If you shut it down, the hard drive might struggle to restore. I’m just sharing this as general advice.
Are you using only one graphics card? If yes,
the EVGA SuperNOVA G2 650 should work well for you.
Weberdarren97 shared feedback with BlackWings about potential driver or kernel issues in Event Viewer, noting possible critical errors. He mentioned discovering Kernel-Power errors matching the frequency of freezes. He advised staying calm and following his guidance through advanced settings, emphasizing not to alter anything outside his instructions. He suggested testing at 1.35V, checking power supply stability, and reviewing BIOS updates as potential solutions. He also questioned whether hardware limitations or system stress might be contributing factors, referencing possible patterns with storage devices.

The issue still lingers though: why immediately after the first OC attempt? Is this just a coincidence?
Your power supply is a potato. When trying to handle the extra power from the CPU after applying OC settings, it has caused damage to your hard drive. Please replace your power supply with a better one before expecting any improvement in system performance.
When you encounter a SMART error, back up right away. Don’t shut down the system before backing up. If you do shut it down, the hard drive might not be able to restore the internal disks properly. I’m just sharing this as general advice.
Are you running only one graphics card? If yes,
the EVGA SuperNOVA G2 650 should work fine for you.
Actually, I have a Cooler Master RS-600-ACAB-M2, which I believe is more than sufficient to keep your system running smoothly. I also have an RX480 8GB Sapphire Nitro+, an i5-3570K, and 16GB DDR3 RAM at 1333MHz. So, I think it’s not a problem to run this slight OC without damaging anything. Also, because the stock settings use 1.3V for the CPU and 1.25V for stable OC, which is even lower than usual, and it’s been a couple of years now, I’m still experiencing issues.
Thanks for your advice, but I really need an upgrade.

Your power source is actually a potato. When you tried to adjust for extra CPU power, it caused damage to your hard drive. Please switch to a better power supply before expecting any improvement.
If you encounter a SMART error, make sure to back up right away. Don’t turn off the system prematurely—shutting it down could prevent the hard drive from recovering properly. I’m just sharing this as general advice.

It’s still a potato. I suggest turning it off and unplugging the system until you replace the power supply. This will stop further damage.
To be honest, I’d rather use a real potato as a power source than those old CM units.

They’ll easily overheat your current power supply. Unstable power results in an unstable system.
@BlackWings doesn't make it seem like I'm just assisting CapsLuke anymore, as I care about your concerns too. Because you both ended up on this thread, I'm reaching out to help both of you. I'll try my best to keep our conversations clear and separate.
WeberDarren97 wants to reassure the user that their interaction with CapsLuke isn’t a sign of disinterest, and they’re providing help to both parties. They mention trying to keep conversations separate.
They also share that updating the BIOS resolved an issue, possibly due to default settings or voltage limitations in HWMonitor that caused problems. The user notes no issues occurred recently after changes.
