[semsem7777]

hi there i built a new machine
ASUS P5Q
E8400
XFX GEFORCE 9600 GT XXX EDITION
2X1G KINGSTONE HYPERX 1066
the problem occurs when i start overclocking when i play a game it crashes and stop responding and a blue screen sometimes and restart or it crashes only without blue screen ( i tested the oc"ing with prime95 for 5 hours without errors and the problem occurs with games only and gpu temp idle 57 and in load 70 i think it isn't too much where the problem comes from i tried all settings and i'm now very confused
i'm using this settings

Sounds to me like the system isn't stable. I know you tested for 5hrs but it is possible to pass 5hrs and still not be completely stable. It is recommend to test for 8hrs+ and even then it isn't 100% stable, although it will usually be fine.

Have you tried running furmark?

What psu are you using?

thanks for reply
when i cancel oc"ing and runs on stock speed i doesn't freeze so now i'm doing so till i discover the problem
what is furmark?
i've a 350 watt psu but isn't a trad mark
i've one HEC but 300 watt only i think it won't work what do u think should i try it?

its going to be ure ram or gfx card if it only effects you in games could also be psu cos its not powerful enuf when you play games

 

[semsem7777]

hey i downloaded furmark and it passed the test and scored a good score so it isn't from psu or vega what do u think now

 

[richardscott]

well try firstly linking ure fsb to your mem then run ati tool to see if its ure gfx card, if not then a mem test is in order. if u want to see if its ure psu then get mem test for windows run ati tool on artifact mode and also orthos at same time to stress psu.

 

[semsem7777]

i ran ati tool and memtest and prime 95 at the same time on default values of bios and gfx and processor all at stock every thing goes right so the prob is with the settings of oc any one can help with this ?

Disable CPU TM. Assuming you did things properly there should be no problems with your OC.

well we ruled out your psu when ure not OC but when you OC a quadcore it can easily overwhelm a 350w psu just on its own a q6600 can consume over 250w when heavily oc'd, try the above test when its OC'd ans see how long it lasts before it crashes, i used to get bsod cos my card was overheating the bsod said video memory manager.

if you want you can try to power your gfx card with the second psu plug into mains and then you have to short two pins on the 24pin connector, read on internet for details and try not to electocute your self.
