Where is this most unstable?

striker2237 · Aug 22, 2013

I have my whole system massively OCed and I was wondering what part is causing the BOSDs im getting, these only occur is the system is idle and the windows "lock" at screen saver has gone off. Otherwise it has zero problems. CPU i7 2600k@5.2 ghz, GFX card GTX 680x2 @ 1350 core and 7.4ghz mem, Ram corsair vengeance 1600 @ 2133 stock voltages, Asrock Z68 gen 3 pro Fatal1ty all aspects increased, soundcard is soundblasterZ if that matters at all. Im suspecting a memory leak in the ram but im not sure, plz help.

again let me say that this only happens if the system is IDLE, under load (games, me working or just doing internet stuff) I have used it for over 50 hours at a time with no crashes

There's only one way to do this and it's all based upon comp0nent lottery..... simply take 1 component outta the equation at a time . have you considered turning off the screensaver ?

striker2237 · Aug 22, 2013

No because I like my computer locking if im away, and I have tried to single out the problem but it always seems to happen if im using more than one monitor......even after a fresh windows install

Is power savings mode on? If anything going to sleep, it might not be waking as it should

striker2237 · Aug 22, 2013

no those are all totally disabled

Tradesman1 · Aug 22, 2013

Let's try taking the VCCSA up + 0.07

striker2237 · Aug 23, 2013

what does that control? if i might ask.....

Tradesman1 · Aug 23, 2013

That's teh system Agent Voltage, it controle the voltage that runs through most of the rig shy of the CPU and in some cases the MC, but for OCed rigs (all over) it's a good idea

striker2237 · Aug 24, 2013

Alright I will try that and leave this thing on overnight, I should know in the morning if it failed for not

Tradesman1 · Aug 24, 2013

Drop us an update

striker2237 · Aug 24, 2013

Ok this is totally unrelated (kinda) but while I was in bios I took the liberty to switch to AHCI mode (im enjoying these nicer speeds and trim now

as well as trying to get my onboard gpu to take as little power as possible to generate less heat. I upped the voltage while I was there to 1.016 up from .987 on the VCCSA and was considering upping the DRAM as well as its still at the stock 1.500 should I do this now or just wait?

Tradesman1 · Aug 24, 2013

See how VCCSA works first

striker2237 · Aug 25, 2013

Alright its been a little more than 24s hours now, im going to let it keep running and see if anything bad happens when its idle.

Tradesman1 · Aug 25, 2013

Let us know, if all Ok can go ahead and close the thread

striker2237 · Aug 26, 2013

Ok it BSODed again at about the upper limit of how long it normaly is stable, should I raise the ram voltages now?

striker2237 · Aug 26, 2013

Out of wonder what do these mean? VTT voltage, PCH voltage, PLL voltage
thx

Tradesman1 · Aug 26, 2013

VTT is the MC voltage, PCH is the Southbridge voltage and PLL is sort of hard to explain, but the CPU has it available for when under heavy load to help keep things stable

Can raise DRAM a bit, and also might want the VTT up a bit, maybe + 0.04 each (as long as the VTT coming into play, that was going to be next

striker2237 · Aug 27, 2013

dram has been set to 1.6 volts

striker2237 · Aug 27, 2013

if im not crashing under load then pll is fine right?

Tradesman1 · Aug 27, 2013

Should be fine yes

striker2237 · Aug 27, 2013

dram voltage increase didnt help, crashed after 8 hours. Witch one should i try next?

Tradesman1 · Aug 27, 2013

VTT + 0.05

striker2237 · Aug 27, 2013

alrightie, btw is this a known problem? I find it rly odd that this thing can do 99 runs of metro LL benchmark no problems and then it goes and crashes when idle.........

striker2237 · Aug 27, 2013

Ok i just got back and the thing was dead but i tried something new. instead of hitting the reset button i hit the power button for 3 secs and it turns out that WINDOWS WAS STILL RUNNING. the screens kinda flashed for a bit then the middle one turned on and showed the shut down info then kinda fliped out, jumped to the other screens then took about 20 min to finaly shut down..........what the heck is this?
