The issue of Overclock causing my second screen to malfunction is concerning.
Hello
I'm feeling quite anxious about posting, as I'm not very experienced with this. I'm also new to the world of overclocking.
I have a bothersome issue with my second screen, which is linked to my motherboard because I only use it for light tasks while gaming on my main monitor. When the CPU workload increases, both displays and audio freeze for a brief moment before resuming, but certain windows now appear completely black (like chrome) and become unresponsive, requiring me to reopen them to function correctly.
After restoring my BIOS to its default settings, everything works perfectly, even when I connect the second monitor to the GPU.
I've followed Darkbreeze's overclocking instructions thoroughly—every test passed. However, during these tests, the second monitor was not connected, and XMP was also disabled.
The only adjustments I made were changing the ratio (47), vcore (1.28), uncore ratio (45), and XMP settings.
I just found out today that I've tried raising the vcore to 1.29, swapping the HDMI cable for the second monitor, and setting the uncore to default.
Of course, I already had two solutions mentioned earlier. But I prefer not to hide these changes and want to understand why this is happening. I'm aware that both my motherboard and monitors are budget options.
What are your thoughts?
Getting the newest chipset drivers and updating the BIOS fixed the issue. Probably nobody will notice. Still, someone might search for it someday.
