Hi everyone,
I am new to the overclocking scene, but very familiar and capable with computers in general. I'll get right to the point. My hardware is as follows:
CPU: i7 2600k
Cooler: Hyper 212+ Push/Pull
Motherboard: Asrock Fatal1ty P67 Performance, BIOS v. 2.20
I overclocked my i7 to 4.5Ghz. The performance is incredible, and I usually only hit 70 degrees Celsius at 100% load (Prime95 blend test). However, when I run this overclock I encounter an intermittent power-on issue with my computer. Sometimes, my computer will turn on, but my screen will not. Sometimes, my PC will turn on (no screen), wait a few seconds and turn off, then back on again, then back off, then back on. Sometimes, the computer comes on and simply sits there, fans going, LEDs on, but no monitor action. If I hold down the power button and force the computer off I can turn it back on and it might work just like normal, no problems, as if nothing ever happened.
Let me be clear: this is a power-on issue. I have encountered zero BSODs, PC freezes. hangups, random power offs, etc. Once I get the computer turned on and I see the BIOS boot screen, everything always works just fine. No problems.
I know this is related to my overclock settings, because when I reset the BIOS to factory defaults I never encounter this power-on issue. Please take a look at my settings and give me your thoughts.
Thanks OC gurus!
