    Computer Freeze or Crash after 5min in window, safe mode and even BIOS


    My window start freezing, crashing or doesn't show anything on screen after I turn on the power. It happen randomly in window, safe mode and BIOS. It said "overclock failed" and I have to reset the system, but I don't remember ever overclocking it and I already reset the CMOS. This problem occur randomly and my computer DOES function properly in Windows once I passed the freezing, crashing or no screen random start-ups disasters. Seems turning on the computer is the only issue here. I am hoping someone can point me to the source of this problem. What control a computer start-up?

    Motherboard: ASUS P8P67 WS
    CPU: Intel Core i7 2600k
    RAM: Corsair XMS3 16GB
    Power: Corsair TX850W
    Hard Drive: Western Digital Cavier Black 1TB SATA3 6GB/s
    Video Card: ATI FirePro V4800

    Could be a temperature problem. Get into the bios & quickly check the temperatures.

    The temperature is fine, a BSOD caused it. Right now, I reset the CMOS by removing the CMOS battery and it haven't crash for an hour so far, but I am keeping my finger crossed.

    It could have been that 'overclock' then. Hope it keeps going. :)

    Check that your memory sticks are properly seated. You may need to release them and then reseat.
