HELP - Overclocking Failure

RoboticZerg · Aug 11, 2014

Hello everyone,

I have been getting some errors where my computer freezes and i have to shutdown the power to get it to reboot. This occurs randomly when im not even attempting to overclock the system. Mostly happens when i boot the system for the first time of the day or when im browsing the net.

The massage i get after i reboot the system is:

AMIBIOS (C) American Megatrends. Inc.

ASUS RAMPAGE IV BLACK EDITION ACPI BIOS Revision 0403
CPU: Intel (R) Core (TM) i7-4930k CPU @ 3.40GHz
Speed: 3400MHz (Target Speed: 3900MHz)

Total Memory: 32768MB (DDR3-1333)
USB Devices ........
......

Overclocking failed! Please enter Setup to re-configure your system.
Press F1 to Run SETUP.

My PC Specs:
CPU: i4930k
RAM: 4x 8g Corsair Dominator Platinum 1866mhz
Mother Board: Asus Rampage Black Edition
Graphics Card: GTX780Ti
Disk Space: 256gb Samsung Evo SSD

Can anyone please help me to resolve this issue? Will choosing the option to "Load Optimized Default" in BIOS help?

Thank you!

I'd imagine its your RAM. Probably go into the bios and load the profile, and if that doesn't work, then I suggest maybe running Memtest.

Calnin :

Is there a reason why you would suspect it to be the RAM? Sorry im just trying to learn more about computer in general.

I will try loading the profile, but it's not all the time i can replicate the issue. I guess only time will tell after the re-load the profile.

I'm thinking its the ram because it's the only thing going through a "overclock" because of it's profile. If your overclock fails and your CPU wasn't overclocked, it'd have have to be another part of your computer.

I have now Loaded the Optimized Default settings for the BIOS but i am still getting the same error.

I have also run the Windows Memory Test, the results came out with no error. I noticed this time, the error has a different Target Speed: 4500MHz. I am kind of hinting towards the CPU is failing to overclock with the asus motherboard bios setting to automatically overclock the system .

You need to perform a hard clearing of the CMOS settings, usually done with the motherboard Clear RTC jumper, find it in your M/B manual and follow clearing instructions, that will assure all the previous settings have been reset, just loading a profile or default values may not clear everything.
