after about a year using these clocks, my pc is starting to lose its stability. this started to happen yesterday after about 12 hours of WOW. it's not the ram because today i did a memtest for 7 hours and everything was fine. its also not the temperatures because when i play WOW everything stays below 50C. i am suspecting my processor, any suggestions?

How much Vcore did you use?

*EDIT*

It might also be the PSU.

What does the BSOD hex code say?

its too fast to copy or memorize the hex code


vcore=1.3

Krazieaznboi, put everything to stock and see if the problem still persists. You can turn off "automatic restart" when you get a BSOD by going to System Properties>Advanced. Click 'Settings' under Startup and Recovery. Under System failure uncheck "Automatically restart". I'd also recommend running a hard drive diagnostic (surface scan) and check for bad sectors. Your drive utilities can be downloaded by going here: http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/sup...loads/seatools

Let us know what you find out

Good luck

thanks for the suggestions, ill give that a try and report back.

I'm curious if the ram passes memtest. Usually ram is my first component to try troubleshooting. It tends to go before other components.
