Hiya,

First of all thanks for providing these forums.

I've been having BSODs on my PC when I'm running the O/C profile supplied by the makers. Last night I had a BSOD while playing War Thunder with Teamspeak 3, Overwolf (an overlay program for TS3) and Steam running. I can't really find the specific cause because I just don't have the know-how and wondered if you could shed some light on this for me, please. I have since disabled the O/C by running a default optimised profile. I've also been having some mini-freezing, with or without the O/C, which I think is caused by the USB cable of my G700s (not sure about that one though).

Overclocking is subject to cause some sort of BSODs; and if your computer is BSODing, you should stop overclocking.

Now, if it yields the same BSODs even after disabling overclocking, let us know. We will attempt to troubleshoot the issue.

Then, when the PC is stable again, you may plan to go back to the OC.
