Greetings!
I am a big Battlefield fan and I have decided to buy the latest game from day 1.
Shortly after I start playing my PC start crashing in game with BSOD. I thought my GPU (Nvidia 750TI 2GB) might be the problem as the game even thought it runs the game it obviously wants more than that. I have decided to invest in a better card so I purchased the new Nvidia 1060 6 GB. The problem was that the FPS didn't improved much. Also the BSOD were even more often(once every 30 minutes).
I decided to buy some new ddr3 (I used to have 8GB @ 1333 Mhz) to give it some more juice. I have purchased Corsair CMY16GX3M2A2400C11R Vengeance Pro 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR3 2400 Mhz C11 XMP Performance Memory Kit. I have been trying for 2 days to find a stable BIOS configuration but my PC now crashes with BSOD in every game I run.
My brother recommended changing the CPU cooler as I currently have the stock version. The new cooler will arrive on Tuesday but monitoring with speccy the CPU temperature never went over 90C. so there must be something else that I am missing.
CPU:Intel Core i7 4790K @ 4.00GHz Haswell 22nm Technology
Motherboard:Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. Z97X-Gaming 5 (SOCKET 0)
CPU Voltage:I think it was 1.100 V ....
CPU Bus Speed/Multiplier:100.0 MHz/ x 42.0
Clock Speed:
RAM:16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 666MHz (9-9-9-24)
Cooling: stock
OS:Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
PSU: CX600 — 80 PLUS® Bronze Certified Power Supply
I had to increase the RAM voltage from 1.5 to 1.7 in order to get the new RAM sticks to run.
Just to clarify, I don't really want to overclock but in order for the system to run the RAM @ 2400MHz I must set it up from BIOS and increase the voltage.
Is there any solution to finding out the cause of my BSODs and where can I find a tutorial on how to safely overclock my system. If you could also suggest some
values I am willing to try them please, because I have wasted all my options here.
Some of the BSOD error messages I get:
- Clock Watchdog Timeout
- WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR
Thanks for reading.
