Prime95 small ffts v26.6 12 hours
XTU 12 hours stress test
CPU-Z stress test 12 hours
ROG realbench 12 hours
Did all of these tests for 12 hours and was after this stable for over a week but today I started the pc opened up youtube watched a clip and bam computer shut down, no blue screen or anything.
When I booted back up I get the screen where it shows ur default settings is back.
How do I get my overclock stable? :SSS
EDIT: No idea why the crash happend... been watching youtube now for 15 minutes after the crash

    ■ Unplug power cord, remove motherboard battery, push and hold case's power button for 5 sec to wipe fail CMOS data, wait 15 min, push and hold case's power button for 5 sec, wait 15 min.
    ■ Reinstate battery, turn on, enter BIOS, set time and date, save and exit, try play game, if still freeze.
    ■ Use self on tester (if comes with PSU), follow the instruction to read each connector output, (A), if checked out as it should, then either motherboard component's faulty or software side conflict (a) or possible other part (I),

    ■ Could be just bad cable, try buy and replace the cable. if after the replacement cable don't work out,

    ■ Take a closer look at your motherboard and find any unusual things (flimsy surface, scratched copper lane, bend CPU socket pin, etc), You didn't tell when the freeze happens, is it right from the start you build or after while.
    ■ Log on to windows, don't run any apps or stop online (if any) updates, use driver removal tool to completely wipe graphic card drivers, this will take you to restart windows, restart, windows will install graphic card with built in driver library, use this (if available) driver and play games, if persist, uninstall windows VGA driver and install original driver, if persist, then it's not graphic card driver conflict faulty.

    ■ Software monitor may give false reading, get good thermal grease such as Arctic MX4, remove CPU and GPU cooler, clean and apply Arctic put back cooler.
    ■ Logon to windows and play game, if still freeze, unplug power cord, touch the GPU and CPU heat sink, they should be very hot make you can't touch 'em, if not very hot, then you'll have power delivering issue with motherboard.
    ■ To verify motherboard power delivering issue use it voltage check point (if available), if no voltage check point then use digital multi meter to read motherboard some reference here and video tutorial with keyword How to check voltage on your computer using multimeter.


At some point power related component reach its life span so one degrading power related component decrease overall power delivering performance exponentially accelerate other components reach its life span.
