I have a bad feeling my friend done messed things up as it is. I wanted to OC the CPU/RAM and the vid card actually. I have gotten the blue screen of death like 20 x's over the last few days.
I was posting in another forum too. This is what i've said so far in the other forum. If anyone can check this out and tell me if somethings permanently messed up i'd be greatly appreciative. Also if you can tell me what you think it is thats messed up so i can look for replacement parts.
"I have a bad feeling my MB is limiting my OC'ing abilities. First i tried using the AI overclocking. I tried 3%, that worked, 5%, that worked, 8% it locks up and wont run stable. A buddy of mine came over and adjusted some stuff, and it ran stable for a bit, then started locking up again. But we could only OC my CPU to 2960. I was wanting badly to get it over 3ghz, but apparently its not happening. Unless there's something im missing, 2960 looks to be the highest im reaching with this CPU/MB combo. Im thinking i may have to go ahead and try and go for the M2N32-SLI Deluxe MB in order to get better OC'ing.
If there's any hints and tips someone can help me out with i'd be greatly appreciative."
"I've received the blue screen of death many many times since yesterday. Finally it stopped long enough for me to write down the STOP ERROR.
Does anyone recall what this stop error is about and what its associated with?\
0x0000003B (0x0000000080000003, 0xFFFFF80001026D90, 0XFFFFFADF81883080, 0X0000000000000)
That is the stop error i received. My system has recovered from MULTIPLE serious errors. My friend came over a few weeks ago and manually adjusted some settings in my BIOS one day. Well since im not very well versed in OC'ing, and he's a PC repair tech also, i trusted him to mess around with things. Well since then, things have locked up here and there, and every time i try and adjust this or that things get worse it seems like. I've tried opening multiple programs today and got the blue screen. But i've never been able to read them. The system just reboots back into windows again.
Any and ALL help will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Right now CPU-Z says voltage is fluctuating from 1.296 to 1.312v. But i keep trying to open things and get the blue screen flash and then the PC reboots, such as control panel, Security Center and other things. It boots up fast though, just as it always has. I've never done anything when it comes to OC'ing really. Except messing with ATITool for my X1650 and messing with Ntune some over the past few days. So upping the voltages is not something i just want to go messing with, without knowing some exact info from someone. Please!?!?!?!?!?"
"The thing is, everything is at default right now. My clocks are all at default settings and im having this problem now. Now im getting scared, since im thinking you guys thought i was still OC'd..

"So does it sound as if something may be fried? Permanently? And if so, what is it so i know what to replace. I dont know what programs i can use to test and figure out whats the problem. Figured the stop error code would help someone with some superior knowledge figure out whats going on.
As i said, all my settings are default at the moment. I did just update my BIOS also, so dont know if the update could've messed me up or not. Im so confused over what to do about this."
Thats what i've posted on the other forum already. IF that information gives anyone any better idea, please let me know.
Im wondering if i may have to reformat, or switch back to 32 bit windows. I've been running 64 bit on this PC since i installed the OS. I was receiving 8174 on 3Dmark06 but now im scared to open anything with the way the blue screen has been flashing lately.
Im sorry guys, im just not well versed into this stuff, and now i think my rig's messed up and its my friends fault. If im wrong someone let me know before i toss away his friendship and beat his face in.... Nothing acted funny till he started tweaking this or that setting. He showed me what to do in Ntune, and i only followed those directions and let the program do its own thing with the tuning option.
