Specs:
FX-8320e
msi gaming 970
16gb ram
GTX 980
So, when i first built my pc, i made sure everything was working properly with stress tests, then proceeded to overclock, stabilize, and be on my way with gaming.
However, about a month and a half into my adventure i came across "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR". So i looked into why this was happening and found that it could be caused by either driver incompatibility, or an unsuccessful overclock. I immediately thought i had to be driver incompatibility because the system was running flawlessly for over a month while overclocked. But, despite my skepticism i stress tested using prime95 before and after disabling my overclock and the system working with it off, but not with it on. Now you could imagine my frustration when finding this out, because, like i said, the system ran flawlessly for over a month while overclocked. So i tried simply lowering my overclock, which was at a safe 3.8 GHz, by increments of 100Mhz repeatedly until the system would remain stable. Unfortunately, the system would crash no matter what kind of overclock i was running, I even tried just overclocking by 10Mhz to see if it would work and the system still crashed when under load.
Is there something i can do to fix this problem, while keeping my overclock? This CPU is really not very strong when running on its base frequency and nothing makes me more angry than when my computer is performing slower than it could be.
Also this is a screenshot of my crash reports from BlueScreenView: http://imgur.com/a/yKLNt
Thanks.
