Hey guys I've been having a problem where when playing some intensive games my computer would just hard freeze and I would have to totally reboot it. This happens when I have it overclocked @4.0ghz.
My system was totally stable for the longest time and after a year or so has it started to do this. When I drop back to stock or lower clocks the problem seems to go away. I'm pretty sure it's not the voltage cause when I increase the voltage it doesn't seem to help either @4.0ghz.
My system:
I7 930 @4.0ghz
460 SLI Overclocked
6GB XMS3 RAM @ 1600
Asus XONAR DX Sound Card
Corsair TX750W PSU
I think it has to do with my PSU not being able to provide enough clean power @ higher clocks.
EDIT 1: After using it on 3.5ghz with a voltage of 1.23 it froze again requiring me to go back to stock. I am really stumped. Cause I don't think it's the vcore. My computer use to be able to do 4.0ghz really well. Don't know what happened.
EDIT 2: Okay stock froze, so it might not be the cpu clock so I put it back to to 4.0ghz and put my 460 SLI back to stock clocks to see what happens.
