Right. I was wondering if anyone here could shed some light onto why my overclock fails past a certain point. System specs first of all.
Asus P5N 32 - SLI Premium
Intel E4300 (Stock HS/Fan)
Palit 8800gt Sonic
2 x 1gb Kingston ValuRAM (yes, it's cheap as all hell. I don't care. )
So.
I Overclock to 1066fsb, giving me a 2.4ghz clock speed. Memory timings of Auto give 5-5-5-15-20. Run Orphos, CoreTemp and Rightmark CPU to check temps. Runs fine. Left it for hours stressing CPU specifically, as well as the Blend option to stress RAM and CPU. Stable as all hell. (Max temps were about 55 degrees on both cores.)
Then, I copy files over from either my external HD or my second internal, and it crashes. With the external it was USB BugCode BSoD, with the internal it's just a Machine Exception Error. Under no other situations does it crash. I played Empire: Total War for a couple of hours, and it was fine; copy a couple of files over and it always crashes after a couple of minutes or so.
Currently, I've got it oc'd to 2.84ghz, and it's stable throughout, which isn't too bad, but I've googled and can't find anyone else who has had this problem. I've tried everything I can think of - changing memory timings, upping voltage... Everything.
Any help? I'm not bothered if I can't OC it above where it is now, but I really would like to know why I'm the only one with this problem, and whether it's possible to overcome it.
Thanks.
