[SOLVED] Possible CPU problem?

[Fatblabs]

I haven't overclocked my cpu after this, but after I overclocked it a few days ago, my computer started crashing (games, and sometimes the computer itself). I then put the clocks to normal / default and everything was back to normal.

What happened? And how do I fix this?

[WITHOUT REPLACING THE CPU CUZ NO NO >:I]


notes:
I have xmp 2 turned on

It sounds like you had a bad overclock.
When you set the clocks to default...the bad overclock went away.

Overclocking is, by definition, working outside the guaranteed parameters of the system. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. It's called the "silicone lottery" because its success is totally dependent on the specific silicone you are running.

You could leave it be....
or you could try a milder overclock and see if it works. (less clock speed and/or less voltage)
Personally I would leave it be.

I looked in the manual....

PRIME Z590-V｜Motherboards｜ASUS USA

....and they don't go into much detail.

All they seem to say is...the BIOS contains the overclock settings (page 3-1).
