Under voltageing a cpu?

[dayto11]

Hello, I was wondering what some Side effects of under voltageing a cpu are. My comps been acting weird recently and that's the only thing i can think off ty

700watt psu and phenom 2 x6 1090t (black) current 3.724 at 1.464 volts that under voltaging?

It will likely (and I say LIKELY, not assuredly) not do any harm, but is also not likely to help much. Acting weird is so unspecific that it tells the members here nothing about your problem. Side effects of under voltaging a CPU are most likely that the system will not work (if undervolted enough), or will run slower.

Full system specs?

Define "acting weird".

I dont know How to describe it has just been acting weird in general. like 1 time my screen just started randomly flashing and it kinda scared me(i thought it was gpu but all seemed fine.) Then i randomly have horrible lag spikes when running application which led me to beliefs that maybe my oc was under voltageing my cpu as in my voltage wasn't turned up enough. my current specs are as following:

Asus Crosshair IV formula
Phenom 2 x6 1090t (black)
Gtx 460 (pallit)
12gb Corsair vengeance 1600mhz
1tb hardrive ( dont know name)
700 watt psu

(i am starting to think it may be my hd but idn )

A failed or failing OC will not cause screen flashing nor will a hdd. I'm thinking the psu is going bad. It may even just be a loose cable. Do you know what psu you have? Also what are your temps?
