Ok, so recently I was in the ATI catalyst control center and saw the CPU Overdrive tab. I clicked on it and in it is an auto tune function where it says its tests your cpu to see where you can OC it to. Well I tried it and after a few minutes left the room. Hour later, I came back and the PC was dead. No power on, and wouldnt boot. If I unplugged it, it would blip for a sec after I plugged it back in but thats it. So I replaced the PSU with something beefy,went from 600w to a 850w, and bam it powered back up, no problems.
But now as I try to play anything on this rig, the core temp alarms go off and I see that my 3.7 mhz has dropped to 800 mhz and core temp says my temp is 255c on all 4 cores.
I can reset the computer and it restores the right clocks but running Prime95, or playing any demanding game whatsoever makes the system freak out and drop again. I have changed the bios, reinstalled and updated CCC, tried using AMD overdrive to manually cgange the core speed to normal but nadda.
What left to try here? The mobo is only a year old
And its in high performance and no C1E running. I have tried to reserch this but havent come up with much. Did auto tune wreck my system somehow?
