Hi everyone,

My specs:
Intel i7 4770k
Msi z87 GD-65
4x4 gb G.skill ripjaws Z
Corsair H105
Msi R9 280x gaming ac
Corsair AX760
Crucial m500 240gb (Window 7 OS)
WD blue 1TB (storage)
Plexter MSata 256gb (games)

here's what I did, I overclock my CPU to 4.2 Ghz using core 1.1volts and ring 1.075v and XMP profile of 1866Mhz 9-10-9-28. I used Adaptive mode option for both core and ring.
the pc boots up and I ran CPUz and shows the 4.2 overclock, then I ran prime95 to test stabilty and I run RealTemp to monitor the temps. I notice that the voltage went up to 1.272v and the temps slowly getting to 85c and over after15mis of prime95 it went on BSOD and i have to hit cmos button because it wont recognise any peripherals or even the storages.
So i decided not to overclock it and leave it to stock settings for the moment.
I opened up cpuz, prime95 and realtemp to check whats going on with the voltages.
the cpu turbos up to 3.9 and it uses 1.1volts when i ran prime95 but the temps stays on 67c below.
Now my problem, I opened up steam and launch dota2 and play a game after around 3mins it will reboots. I dont know which is the problem anymore.
I havent tried other games yet.
help would be appreciated. thanks[strike][/strike]

All I can suggest, and I had a similar problem to yours but with different hardware, and my temps were low and even below average so may not be the exact same problem. I tried clearing CMOS with the button on the back panel of my Mobo. This didn't seem to help at all, so I pulled the side of the case off. Used the tiny CLR CMOS1 plug and pins on the bottom right of my Mobo, and pulled out the CMOS battery. I left it like this for over an hour, and when I put it all back together, - business as usual.
Now all I can guess is that, while overclocking, I may have somehow corrupted the profiles in my BIOS and therefore setting all my OCs back to stock never took. Only resetting the entire BIOS cleared the corruption.
But as I said, I have a...

But as I said, I have a very different hardware configuration to yours, so it may or may not work. But I still think it's well worth a try. Maybe just note down your favourite BIOS settings first, so you don't have to guess at it to get it all as you liked it.
Anyway best of luck, hoping this works for you.
