Hello, using AMD OverDrive to overclock my AMD FX 8120 disables Aero on my computer, and some benchmarks I use seem to not use the GPU, which is an AMD 6850. The CPU is getting enough power, and it seems stable in the stability test. By the way, all of this is on a computer where all warranties are voided, and I'm overclocking it for fun.

That seemed to work, thank you! I'm running a few benchmarks to see how trash this computer is compared to today's standards.

This computer got 1,439 points on Fire Strike, vs the 11k on my main PC. Once again, thanks for the help!
