thats what crashed, so yeah. It is only the victim, very rarely exe files cause BSOD.
is the overclock only in bios?
Cause you probably don't need Intel extreme tuning if it is.
Do you use Afterburner or MSI live update? some of the files we see are in both
Crash sort of didn't tell me anything.
have i suggested a bios update already? it can fix whea errors ... wonder how the bios would react to that since it freezes if you remove the settings.
The overclock is just in the BIOS, I was using Intel Extreme Tuning to validate the the overclocks with a stress test... as well as memory, but I gave up on the memory a long time ago
I use Afterburner for my GPU, yeah, honestly not really sure what MSI live update is, I've never used it or installed it... pretty sure.
You have not suggested a BIOS update, and I agree, I feel like it could just brick my whole system.
The BSOD was perhaps an anomaly though, I've only ever had a BSOD from pushing overclocks too far before, though I'm not quite sure what "memory corruption" is. I don't like coincidences though, so I'm not really sure what to think. It's semi-feasible for me to just upgrade sometime soon, my 5820k would be a bit old even if I hadn't have it overclocked, but I would hold off If I could have found a simple solution.
The lockups are so "random" though. Most frequently it's if I'm watching a Twitch stream, I'd say like 70% of them, always watching Twitch. a good 20% of them are when I'm doing something with my TV on the other side of the room, be it using a console or watching TV. The other 10% are in the middle of the night, once or twice. Never once happened while playing a game, or doing anything else on my PC besides watching something on Twitch.
I guess that would be the opposite of random, perhaps I just mean.. seemingly unrelatable.
