Hello everyone, I have been creeping on this site for years for help but made an account to help me fix what seems to be my current problem. I will start out by listing my specs and then I will divulge into the issue I cannot seem to rectify.
CPU: i7 4770k (water cooled with an H100)
MOBO: Gigabyte Z87x UD4H
RAM: 16 GB of Corsair 1333
GPU: Sapphire R9 290
PSU: EVGA 750 Gold
Then the average SSD, HDD, and Burner.
Previously I was overclocking on air with a 212 Evo and I was having issues with completely random BSOD's and shutoffs so I figured I should revert it to stock and try with a water cooler. I got the H100 and have watched, read, and been looking for a safe overclocking guide and all of them still result in the random 1/5 boots of inevitable BSOD. The reason I am confused isn't because the overclock fails (because I am relatively new to this), but because it never eclipses 70 degrees with Prime95 running for twelve plus hours without a single BSOD. I ran Prime95 four different times in 12-16 hour increments and it never BSOD, Shut off, or even flinched but randomly if I open my email it will crash. I currently have it overclocked to run at 4.2 Ghz and my HW Monitor runs down as follows:
VID: 1.178
IA: 1.209
LLC/Ring: 1.228
I appreciate any help and recommendations ahead of time! Thank you, I would just like to figure out what is wrong with this thing or what I am screwing up.
