W10 appears on screen after performing an overclock on my CPU.
Hi, I'm trying to overclock my i7 6800k with H115i on an Asus X99 Strix gaming PC. After adjusting the frequency to 4.2 MHz and voltage to 1.35V, the blue screen appears even though IntelBurnTest passed all 10 high-stress tests. I increased the voltage to 1.4 but the issue still occurs when overclocking. It seems to only happen after I change the CPU overclock settings. Is my CPU damaged and unable to be overclocked, or is there another reason for the blue screen?
I've noticed many complaints about this motherboard. It seems the BSOD issues stem from an outdated BIOS, so consider updating it. If that doesn't resolve the problem, you may want to return the board.
