I recently installed a new CPU, AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE and i overclocked it to 3.9ghz and it normally runs around 40C to 50C. this made me want to go back and try to see how much better this could make my very heavy games such as GTA 4. I took the settings to as high as possible just to see and there was tons of lag as was expected. After i left the game i noticed programs such as Steam had weird graphical glitches that i had never seen before and Chrome was crashing every time i opened it after about 10 seconds.
Now when ever i try to play heavy games such as Hitman Absolution i have to reboot my computer so the instability of my system would go away. Im also getting errors from SpeedFan such as stack overflows for low cpu voltage and a gurgling sound mixed with a muffled dot matrix printer from my computer case that id never gotten before that fateful night i tried to play GTA at full settings.
Did i ruin something in my computer by playing these heavy games and if so what could it be?
