Restart of FX 6300 occurs abruptly following the overclock to 4.0 Ghz
after performing an fx 6300 overclock to 4gzh a few minutes later the machine restarted abruptly. could you clarify the reason behind this issue? i use a 700w psu from energmax maxpro.
I can't do that and nobody else can either... each CPU is different and overclocking works better or worse depending on it. Begin with a 0.1 or 0.2 GHz above the base speed and adjust gradually. Look up guides for your specific processor model, as there are many resources available. Overclocking requires time and patience. You must understand what you're modifying, why you're making those changes, and then verify that stability. Give it another try...
It indicates your overclock isn't stable and the processor couldn't cope. It might also mean it hit the maximum temperature limit. For safety, the CPU shuts down.
12-15 years ago you'd have a CPU that would never restart again because it's broken. Congrats.
Try again gradually, increasing the OC slowly.

could be that the PSU isn't providing enough power for an overclock, so follow the advice given earlier—try a lower voltage like 3.9 and see if it works. If it doesn't, reduce further to 3.8 and continue adjusting accordingly.
BringerOfTea :
maybe you pss can't provide the power required for an overclock, so follow what the person above recommended. You now understand it's not stable at 4.0... try 3.9 instead then... run OCCT or something similar to check stability. If it still doesn't work, lower it to 3.8... and so on.
No, that chip only handles 700w, haha!
Your system even fails at 400w, let alone 700!
Going up and down until it stops crashing is a really risky and unnecessary method. Just try to follow the proper way instead.
