My build:
Asus Z97-A ATX Motherboard
Intel 4690K
Hyper 212 EVO
2 x 8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 1600
2 x 4GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 1866
Geforce GTX 960 SSC 4GB
NZXT H440 Case
6 Corsair Case fans
Corsair CXM 750W 80+ Bronze PSU
When I first built this machine in 2015 I had no problem overclocking with the 5-Way Optimization Firmware. I haven't been able to access the optimization for about 3 years now but my computer has been running fine on default settings. Recently decided to overclock again using the BIOS Setup Wizard. The computer runs fine until I run something intensive like a video game. My CPU temp is always below 40C but I get a Blue ERROR screen that says 'something happened with your system memory and your computer needs to reset'. How do I overclock my CPU and RAM safely in this situation??
