Issues with new computer

Christian SP · Aug 22, 2016

Hello peeps =)

I just got a new computer with fine specs that should handle about any game I wanna play, but I got some problems.

A couple of my games seems to crash after some time, I checked up on my temps, everything seems fine.
Ofc. my system is OC, and that might just be where the root of the problem is, though I did a 'mild' OC

Oh and I just did a benchmark, after some minutes I got Blue Screen Of Death, with the information "Kernel Security Check Failure"
I expect you'd want some information about that, don't know where to find em, but I'll search around a bit and post it tomorrow!

Here's my specs and if I attached a couple of image for my CPU settings and such. If i need to give you any more information, please feel free to order me to

I hope anyone here can give me a clue about what to do, I'd prefer to keep my system OC but we'll see what happens.

Thanks in advance!

Sincerely CSP

CPU clock speed is/was at 800MHz when you ran CPU-Z and it's probably the Power Options but if the speed lags when it needs to increase, that would cause games and benchmarks to crash while also keeping the cool CPU temps you posted... Run two sensor scans with HWiNFO both at idle and when playing a intensive game or benchmarking to see how the clock speed changes, if it reaches normal, the OC speed, or if it doesn't go above or much above that set by power options. Upload the sensor scan reports either to a file sharing or image sharing website. Image if you can take a shot of the full report or in files if it' easier for you. Use Postimage, Dropbox, etc. to upload the results.

What is your power supply?

And by the "game crash" does that mean that your computer freezes, that the game application closes, that you get BSOD, that your PC restarts, that your PC shuts off and stays off?

If you're correct about your CPU overclock being conservative, then I'd say the RAM is a primary suspect. Just because the sticks are rated for a certain speed does not mean that the CPU will cooperate. Try raising system agent voltage to 1.1-1.15 and see if that changes anything for the better.

Thanks for all the answers guys, I really appreciate it

I'll do a sensor test and post the results here, both idle and while under pressure!

I got a 750W Power supply, corsair I think.

I posted another image for you guys to look at, I can change the voltage in this program right ?
If I could get a hint about the exact option to change I'll get right on it, I just really don't wanna mess something up.

It just crashed again btw, so ain't a coincidence.
And and when it crashed the game just closes, nothing else happens =)

The sensor test, is that just the sensor status or ?

Thanks guys

That image is the system sumary... you need to click the Sensors icon (tools bar) and when the Report comes up, it will include CPU clock speeds per core, CPU Vcore voltage, fan speeds, temps, etc. As of now, the summary report says the CPU is running with 1.3033v at 4000 Mhz so the voltage is running low. If the game closes and nothing else happens... the issue may be: the game itself, a video card issue, possibly CPU voltage issue... so that 1.3033 voltage may be the cause and you should increase it to normal setting the BIOS voltage settings to Auto, and also set the CPU clock to auto, and don't overclock the CPU again (even if mildly) untill you know how to do it correctly.

I didn't manually overclock my CPU, I chose one of the pre-settings that was installed, I was sure that as long as I didn't go above the factory settings it wouldn't be a problem. I thought the voltage automatically would increase with it or my CPU wouldn't need a voltage increase. Again, I didn't overclock it much.

Oh and how do you figure the voltage is running low when you don't know how much I overclocked it with.

4000MHz is the default setting, so is the 1.3033v ^^

I'll look into the sensor thing, thanks mate =)

OK, I stand corrected on the 4.0GHz-1.30v values... you mentioned overclocking but didn't mention the clock speed, and instead your CPU-Z screenshot showed CPU clock at 800MHz with multiplier at x8.0... so I attributed that to lowered CPU voltage.. guess you need to provide more detailed info before continuing with this thread.

Check these comments on how diferent i7-6770k's can require diferent overclock voltages.

I'd also suggest reading a few overclocking guides to better understand what voltage increase or even decrease may be correct for your CPU at the desired clock speed:
