Xeon x5650 help needed
Hey everyone, I recently started using an x5650 and x58 mobo. I got a used Asus P6T and installed it in my case. The first issue was that there were no drivers available for Windows 10, only for Windows 8 and older versions. After trying a few Windows 8 drivers, it worked temporarily, but I decided to do some overclocking. It took some time, but eventually it worked with Windows. However, after about a minute it would blue screen with an uncorrectable error and I had to restart. I performed a power drain to start, but eventually gave up for the night. Any help would be really appreciated.
This morning I began again and lowered the OC to 3.2, everything worked there so I moved up. I reached 3.4 without issues. Then I attempted 3.6 and immediately encountered the same error when logging into Windows. I tried reducing memory usage to test if it was too much, but still got the same blue screen.
I've updated the system to Windows 10 and encountered some problems. The main issue is with my multiplier not staying locked during OC. I turned speed step off, expecting it to stop the multiplier from changing, but it's fluctuating between 19 and 22 according to CPUz. Cinebench R15 shows my CPU at 3.30 GHz, stays at 20x multiplier while running, then jumps to 21 and back to 20. IBT keeps the multiplier locked at 22x, which is confusing. I tried running Cinebench during ITB but it still recognized the speed.
