I recently overclocked my computer but however it seems to randomly freeze up. I'll have it running for the hours during work or at night but when I go to use it, the screen won't come up. I check the downloading history or so and see it freezes up a couple of hours prior. This is about the third time now without any error message and by randomly, I mean a couple days of running or about a week of running just fine. All driver are updated, BIOS has been updated. This setup is about 2 months old and went through the tweaking process already. This is the highest OC I achieved. Here is what I got:
I7980- OC'd to 4.425
24GB DDR 3 2000MHz at 1770MHz
CPU vCore- 1.4v
Mem- 1.7v
everything else is set at auto (Timings, other voltages), tried manually but runs stable on auto.
It will run LinX at 100 passes, Prime95 for 16 hours fine but just randomly freezes, sometimes just idling, sometimes while doing random tasks. It'll run fine for days then freeze. Then run fine for 2 weeks. Passes memtest with 3 passes. I was having problems with BSOD for the memory but manually adjusted it to 1.7v from 1.68v and haven't seem a BSOD since. Do you think it needs to be bumped higher? Should I loosen the timings more from the auto setting? The timings at auto are 10-12-10-10 for the memory that is rated at 9-10-9-9. Thanks for the help
