Boot failure with 6300 oc'ed at 4.1 ghz

[Escap3]

Greetings guys!I have an fx-6300.which i oc'ed at 4.1 ghz,setting the vcore at 1.3 v and nb voltage at 1.2v.My pc runs smooth,but it doesnt open with the first startup.I press the power button,it tries to open but it fails at first,and after the first fail it opens automatically without problem.This happens everytime i boot it.I did the same things as this video says(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZPy6xMhtso),except that i have the gigabyte 970 mobo.Can someone give me some advice so i can avoid the first startup failure?Should i put the vcore and nb to auto?Thoughts guys !!!The rest of the system is the following:

The 970 boards aren't really meant for overclocking try increasing your voltage a bit to 1.325 or 1.35. What is your cpu cooler also how many case fans do you have hitting the vrm?

I don't know if it's applicable to AMD but Intel gigabyte boards have a setting in the BIOS that when changed stops this from happening. I dont remember where i read it but try searching "boot fails with gigabyte mobo"
Edit: try this, its another topic from toms. http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1891649/turns-times-boots.html

This is the cooler fellas http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=2572.The voltage is already at 1.32 and the nb voltage at 1,225,everything else is at auto,and i have disable c1e,svm,apc

I believe the stock voltage for that processor is 1.337 volts for 3.5 gigahertz so for 4.1 you may have to go up in volts like the other guy said.

HI THERE!

well youR MB its not the best, but i think at last you should be fine going 4.5... right now i have a z77 gigabyte MB, and yeah thats true, going from 10 11 10 30 to 10 10 10 30 in RAM timings and it just wont start, it wont even pass the bios so its not a boot failure...
SO I THINK THIS IS NOT THE CASE. better to give a try rising the voltage a little bit

Were you able to figure it out? I actually have the same exact problem. Posted it here http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2385825/weird-boot-problem-shuts-boot.html
I have the same cpu and a gigabyte 970 motherboard. I also overclocked and while the system runs stable once it's booted up, it does shut down and then turn back on by itself during boots and reboots.

I don't exactly know the answer mate,still,but in an other post some of the guys told me thats its not sth to panic about,you just have to live with it.They said that its a thing that occurs when you have gigabyte,msi mobos,sth like a setting.I've been told that it is harmless for the rest for the hardware.The guys in the post gave me some answers,but it is better to look for yourself to find the most suitable to your case.I haven't tried them yet,cause except the boot failurs,the pc is running without any prob,so i guess its just a setting you cant mess with http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1891649/turns-times-boots.html

well OC can bring a lot of glitches and happends often, more if you change stock voltages in non "high quality" MOBO's
i used an ASUS m5-a88m... works perfectly fine at stock with a phenom II but once overclocked a lot of weird stuff beggin to happend, it lost the sleep mode capability, VGA drivers shoot down while power saving... etc etc, and it ran that way for more than a year with no critical errors
so we can say is normal....

I had this exact issue years ago when I OC'd.. I just never shut my PC down lol.. the fix was to slightly pull back on the FSB, no amount of vcore then resolved it.. but seeing as it was only the first boot and outside of that it was rock solid at the mint OC I just never turned my PC off lol.

IIRC in those days I was running a E4600 (2.4ghz) @ 3.25Ghz stable solid for the 2-3 years I had it.. If I dialed the FSB back resulting in a clock of 3.07Ghz or whatever it was back then the PC was fine, but I didn't care~ like I said, I just never shut down haha..

When I think about it, I pretty much haven't turned my PC off since 1998 or so.. low power states ftw. Christ I'm getting old. What a whore.

Apologies for my random story. (I'm not actually sorry, eat a bag of HOT TOAST!)
