Hi everyone,
I just built my system with the Asus Rampage Iv Formula and an i7 3930k with water cooling.
All has worked well up until now.
Basically, I left the pc running for maybe an hour. When I returned to check it out, the computer appeared to be in some sort of power save or sleep mode. The fans were not spinning, no lights were on, and the worst part, I believe the pump was not operating.
The monitor had a black screen from no input, and the power led button on the case was flashing at a constant rate.
I pushed a button on the keyboard, and the pc instantly woke up and all fans started spinning.
I have a Logitech g510 keyboard with the EVGA precision app on it, and the cpu temp read 123 degrees Celsius. F*** ME.
I previously had the CPU overclocked to 4.5Ghz, and the Vcore set at 1.38 volts. Temps stayed around 20-24c under normal operation.
So I immediately shut down the PC, and cleared cmos to remove the overclock.
Then I rebooted, and the system runs fine now, with stable temps.
I have no idea how long after I left the PC running when it went into this "sleep mode", but I figure my CPU must have been running over 100c for quite some time. Did this certainly cause permanent damage?
Any ideas on why my motherboard does this "sleep mode"?
Thanks a lot.
