Computer Unstable on Stock Settings

[xderkaderkaxx]

Hello,
I recently built a new computer and wanted to see how my ASUS M4A89TD PRO/USB 3's Turbo Key II setting functioned. After flipping the switch (which OC'd me automatically to 3.8 Ghz on my AMD Phenom II x6 1100T) I ran prime 95 for a while with no errors. However once I started playing games my computer would freeze and I would have to reset. Therefore I turned off the switch and reset my BIOS to factory (even though I didnt mess with it). Everything seemed fine until I started playing Battlefield Bad Company 2, the same issue. Why would my computer be unstable at stock speeds? Is it a hardware issue that I need to replace?

My setup is as follows:
CPU: AMD Phenom II x6 1100T Black Edition
MB: ASUS M4A89TD PRO/USB 3
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600
GPU: EVGA GTX 570
Cooling: Corsair H80 Liquid Cooling (Just so you knew I wasn't overclocking with stock cooler)

Thanks

Hi and welcome to Tom's forum.

Is your RAM running at stock settings too? Do you have a BSoD error code?

Thanks

There is no BSoD at all, it just freezes. And I just remembered that it started like a day after I updated my graphics driver. Maybe it could be a GPU issue instead? It might have just conveniently started after I tried to OC? And yes my RAM is running at stock speeds.

What psu are you using?
Better off manually o'cing the cpu.

Im using a CoolerMaster Silent Pro 850w PSU.
Yeah I figured that manual is better but I just wanted to see how well my MB could handle it. Not well apparently.

Remove your BIOS battery and RAM for around 10s, install the battery again set your RAM at stock settings in BIOS.

I resetted my CMOS, I will have to do some stability tests to actually see if it worked.

Move on to another thing, do all the things that you usually do (games, documents, internet) and see if with those loads the rig is stable.
