Windows boots up after overclocking
Windows boots up after overclocking
I increased my CPU speed to 4.6Ghz at 1.28V and it successfully passed the Prime95 24-hour test. I also tested Time-Spy and Fire Strike Extreme to confirm everything was functioning properly. After closing all programs and leaving the PC idle for about ten minutes, a BSOD occurred. What caused this issue? It seems to have failed the Prime95 24-hour stress test, Time-Spy, and Fire Strike tests, yet it worked during the stress test. Why did it crash in Windows while idle? It might have been a random error that could be resolved later. I don’t want to revert back to the original BIOS settings or add more Vcore and retest. I’m not feeling inclined to go back to stock speed. What possible problems could this be?
Regardless of whether you passed the stress test after overclocking, it doesn’t ensure future performance or stability. Please share your CPU’s operating temperatures during overclocking and any RAM details—especially if an XMP profile is applied, as that can affect stability. More information would help us assist further.
The maximum stable temperature my CPU reaches is 77°C.
2. The RAM is team dark 8x2 at 2400Mhz and isn't overclocked (the XMP profile indicates 2400, so no RAM overclocking).
3. The core ratio is 41x while the core-to-uncore ratio is 46x (is this likely the issue?)
