Dear people of Tom's Hardware,
Ever since I've taken the time to overclock my RAM and CPU, I've noticed that my computer will randomly "Lock Up" as in the computer doesn't necessarily crash, but I have to forcefully restart it because I can't click any of my taskbar items or open folders. Also, during this lock up, my computer slows down CRAZILY. To the point that I can't even open Task Manager. It always ends with me having to restart it.
Some background information:
Computer Specs: http://textuploader.com/axlfq
Vcore = 1.255v
Uncore = x34
RAM = 1866Mhz @1.5v (9-10-9-25 RAM timings)
CPU Ratio Multiplier = 45 (4.5GHz)
I have C States 3 and 7 enabled, as well as Intel SpeedStep (EIST)
Turbo Boost is disabled
Those are the key settings I have changed, everything else is set to their defaults.
