Hello,
My PC has been crashing mid-game on a new MOBA. Its fairly random and happens once a day.
I figured I'd stick at stock for awhile just for the stability. The system is a 2500k with 8Gb of RAM on a P8Z68-V.
When running at stock, games will not load. Games that get close to loading, I get a BSOD. Letting the BIOS do its own OC'ing, the PC is stable again. I originally thought this was the RAM (and still might be, since all issues point to it, memtest giving lots of errors), but I have a problem getting it stable even with a modest overclock and a good amount of headroom for voltage.
Its very late here so can dig in for more details, but is having an OC with more CPU/DRAM voltage over stock for stability point to a obvious issue? Might it be the power-supply?
I've had this PC for 6 years running at 4.5Ghz, with the only change of hardware being HD's and graphics card. I'm waiting until Zen to build my next PC, but I dont want this one to die in the meantime.
Kai.
