[etvd]

Hi Everyone,

I had this PC custom build about 8 months ago.
In the last few months ive been getting BSOD numerous times a day.
System Spec
Windows 7 Professional 64bit
Intel I7 2600K
Asus Motherboard
8 Gig Ram
Nividia GTX 570

All drivers up to date.
Windows 7 all updates installed.


I do hope someone can help me.

Kind Regards

Ok, this is common with that CPU. What if any overclock so you have on your CPU? I have the same CPU and I had seen this when I was testing my overclock.

Thanks for the reply,
Its been clocked to 4.6GHZ.
The guys that build this PC Evetech solotions, do this as a standard clock for the i7 2600k and guarantee all the hardware for a year.

The Cpu runs pretty cool only at 40 degrees celcius at maximum operations.

Mine is at 5.2 GHz on water. What is the Vcore set to? I had to raise mine when I saw this BSOD.

 

[etvd]

1.376V

I didnt do the overclock myself, I once had a look at this special Asus Bios, wound up taking the machine back to get it repaired, I learnt the hard way not to toutch hehe!

I never use to get these problems, for some reason it seems to happen when I browse the net using firefox or google chrome. Using Internet explorer at the moment.

That Vcore seems to be fine for that overclock. What cooler are you running ann the temps your are seeing? I use Coretemp with the wiget to see my temps.

Also your System Specs is not done.

 

[etvd]

Im Using Coretemp as well.
Temps are the follwing :
0 : 38
1 : 40
2 : 40
3 : 39

The temps look good. Vcore looks good. Does the BSOD happen when you play games or only web browseing?

 

[etvd]

It seems that it is more when browsing.
Ive just had 2 BSOD's with the same error message. SO im using a different pc now.
Not sure where to begin with this BSOD.

I used this guide. Now please do not apply these settings it is just for you to understand what is going on in the bios. This is how I got my OC to 5.2GHz. As you will see my Vcore is just above yours. Its about 2/3 down the page.

Thanks for the info, Ill have a look.
Back in the day I was quite the expert at clocking cpu's ect, now with all these multicore pc's ect I just left it to the experts.

Once your off the boat it's hard to get back on. I just looked at the manual for your MB and it seems to have the same layout as mine. So you should be able to compare to that guide is showed you.

 

[etvd]

I Had a look at the guide, seems very similar to the BIOS features that the ASUS P8P67 Pro has.
Its quite easy to do a good stable clock from there, but if you mess it up like I have.. Let's just leave it at that.

Any Idea why the BSOD's occurs?

 

[Beta]

Not sure. I am a bit lost. I would say up the Vcore just one setting but ... you know you don't want to risk that again. What you could do is in the bios is save the Bios profile. This save ALL of the Bios settings. Then if you want to go back you can just reload the setting. To get most mother boards including you MB in safe boot you turn on the computer and do the following:

Restart 1/2 sec, Restart 1/2 sec, Hold the power button in (right away) untill the computer turns off then turn the computer back on. It will say something about overclock failure and press F1 to continue. That is if you change something and it won't boot.

I'm go to sleep I work in the morning so... i will be back tomarrow so keep up the posts and I will have a look later.

 

[etvd]

Will Do.

Thanks for the help so far.
Im going to wait a bit to see if there are other solutions other than tuning up the Vcore

 

[etvd]

Ok I increased the Vcore now to 1.380 So lets see if it resolves the issue.
All tempss look good.

Edit

Still BSOD upper the Vcore now to 1.385

Edit

Still BSOD

 

[Beta]

Ok, well drop the Vcore to where it was.... I am a bit stuck here.

Hi,

Ive been running it at 1.385V for a while now and even tough it has not completely solved the problem, it does seem that the BSOD's are less.
I think its safe to say that there has been some improvement!
