System configs:
CPU: Q6600 (2.4GHz by default)
Motherboard: Gigabyte X38-DQ6
Graphics: ASUS EAH3870 X2
RAM: G skill 2GB*2 @ 5-5-5-15 (4GB altogether)
PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower 750W
HDDs: Hitachi Deskstar - 300GB*2 (RAID 0)
Current OS: Windows XP (32-bit)
It's been about 6 - 7 months that I built this system and it was running perfect and I had it OC @ 3.2GHz on Windows Vista 64-bit. I did not increase any voltages on any hardware when I had it overclocked, and the temps. of the CPU were ~ 30C idle.
Since a couple of weeks (as u guessed) the computer is getting frozen all the time (about 5 - 8 times a day), being more specific on >>GETTING FROZEN<<, I DO NOT get any "blue screens of death" or that kind but the screen just freezes out and the KB and mouse just stop responding and I have to reboot the system manually.
I even checked my RAM using Memtest and there was nothing wrong with it and then I thought if it was something to do with Vista (64bit) and did a complete format and rolled back to Windows XP and set the BIOS as well back to default thinking could it be an OC issue, but unfortunately all my tries have been unsuccessful and it still gets frozen all the time and even restarts itself sometimes.
(YES > it did restart once while I writing this thread as well)
If someone could help me figure out what the problem is, it wud be gr8ful!
Pls do ask me any questions if I havnt been clear enuf!
Many Thnx.
