Hi Everyone 
So I built my own computer back in March, here it is: http://pcpartpicker.com/b/Xj6hP6
- So maybe a month after building it, I overclocked my CPU to 4.0Ghz, testing different settings, running Prime95 and find that that speed was what I was most comfortable with. I then had no problems running that for the next few weeks! (Keep in mind, I also applied the same settings to my brothers PC, he has all the same components except for the mobo.)
- After them few weeks I had to move house and had to bring the PC into my bedroom and it was way too noisy for me to sleep so I had to disable the overclock. (My brother still runs the same settings to date.)
- But now 3/4 months later, I want to bring the overclock back, so now when I overclock using the same settings, my PC turns on, turns off for 1/2 seconds, turns back on and then boots normally! This didn't happen before at all and the settings are perfect, even under Prime95!
Could anyone help shed some light on this for me? Would appreciate it !!
Alan.
