Hi!
I'm quite a beginner when it comes to Overclocking and such.
In an attempt to make my workflow a tiny bit faster and reduce (more) latency in games. I tried overclocking my 5820k CPU from 4.2Ghz on 1.25v to 4.5 on 1.275
This being done on a ITX Motherboard was apparently quite ambitious!
After the reboot my Windows would load and i did my stress testing via 'AIDA64 Extreme'
Thinking that a 30Minute benchmark should give me a good indication wether the CPU is "stable" or if my pc would crash
Well, my PC froze! So as i figured out this was probably a bit too ambitious. I wanted to go back to my original settings and so i rebooted into Bios and changed the BIOS settings back to default and started over again. Going back to 4.2 as i figured i should just ask someone to help me with this project rather than doing it on my own
My PC booted and windows loaded.
I started by opening Chrome to look up some more info and to try and learn a bit more about the bits and pieces i was working with
Unfortunately my Windows quickly froze again, repeating the same behavior it had when i had the 4.5Ghz clock speeds..
I got a bit confused and so i changed my settings to default to see if my pc would run alright without ANY changes to the BIOS..
But .. as you could probably guess.. It froze again if id open a program.
I was able to boot Windows most of the time; sometimes it would Bootloop at the Splashscreen and so the next time i got into Windows i wanted to troubleshoot by eliminating what components could be the cause for these freezes.
AIDA booted up fine without freezing; so i stress tested memory with success, CPU with success and GPU with success
I also downloaded Heaven to double check if anything was wrong, it completed the benchmark perfectly fine with a reasonable score
Got a bit comfortable and decided to open Chrome again but it would freeze.
Now i work daily behind my computer and so i had to think quick and decided to pass over some components to my second computer which im using right now
And i come here in desperate need of some tips
Does anyone know what could be wrong with my Computer?
I've tried memory banks using a single RAM stick. Both with the same result
Also tried booting from USB into Linux with the same results
My Specs;
Processor: Intel Core i7 5820k
RAM: 16GB (8x2) DDR4 Dual-Slot Memory 3200hz
Motherboard: Asrock X99E-ITX
Powersupply: EVGA Supernova 750Watt G2
Graphics Card: EVGA Geforce GTX1070
CPU Cooler: Corsair H110GTX AIO
Case: Fractal Design Define Nano (ITX)
SSD 1: NVME M.2 Samsung 950 Pro 256GB
HDD: 4TB Seagate Baracuda
Windows 10
Thank you so much in advance!
