PLEASE HELP. VERY FRUSTRATING PROBLEM.
Last week I built my Pentium G3258 + MSI H81-P33 rig and I have a problem where if I set the CPU multiplier above 32 (3200mHz) to 33 (3300mHz) for example, my computer will not be able to boot into windows.
When overclocking: The computer will boot past the BIOS screen and show the windows boot sequence for 2 seconds and then stops. The system then restarts itself and loads to Windows Error Recovery screen.
I have tried to do Startup Repair but that doesn't do anything for me. And once I go back into BIOS and set everything back to default settings windows boots up no problem.
This problem doesn't occur when I underclock the CPU to 3100mHz.
My BIOS is up to date with BIOS version 1.90.
PS. There are multiple threads online where this CPU and motherboard combination is compatible for overclocking.
