Hello all,

I was previously able to play like, world of warcraft on one monitor and stream on another with no problem. Mostly....I purchased a new computer(built it in Nov 2015) 6600K > 980TI and 16gb of ram. Asus Z170 Pro Gaming. When I play Black Desert Online, and stream something on twitch I'm at 100% CPU, that's nuts. My computer should be able to handle these two things in my opinion????

So today I got the bright idea to try and see about overclocking. The first thing I did was update my BIOS to the latest version as it was a little out of date, quite a few versions actually.

I then went through a utility that overclocked it from a wizard like tool in my Bios after I upgraded the BIOS. Since then my computer has crashed while playing a game/streaming, with a Kernel-Power error, ID 41 in the Event Viewer. ---While it was crashing, or like 3 seconds before the sound did that weird sound thing that I remember from dying computers of the past where it's like the sound locks up ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ buzzing sound in my head phones.

That happened again a little later, except it's like the sound died, and my browser window died, computer didn't reboot though. Ugh I'm worried =(

Wonder if http://www.tomshardware.com/news/skylake-prime-number-bug,30979.html is relevant?

Edit: Saw this error in Event viewer>>>
Faulting application name: AUDIODG.EXE, version: 10.0.10586.122, time stamp: 0x56cc17ee

Found this article
Audiodg.exe error in Windows 10 - Microsoft Community

Wonder if this sound thing made the computer crash???hmm

Your system specs are nice, so no overclock was needed for the game and streaming your were doing. Your system can manage it, but you have to look other proceses in Task Manager whos disturbing your streaming and gaming. If there's any process then end it. Main point is check running processes, Apps and background Processes in Task Manager.

Hello Ak195,

So 62% For Black Desert Online, Google Chrome 32bit 15% , atkexcomsvc (apparently asus service ? Aisuite?) 6.5% although it spikes to 20%>Another Chrome at 4.5%>>Another Chrome@2.2%>>Another Chrome at 1.5%>>Last Chrome 1% ---So this is about 90%.....then there are tons of others under .08% which I guess adds up to 10%

Not sure if this is normal or not, second check below.


Black Desert Online=46.6% >>>atkexcomsvc=19.6%>>>Chrome processes about the same as above.
