Not to new to over-clocking but still a newb at it.
So I run into 2 problems:
1) When sometimes booting up or generally when i restart Windows 8, it will go to a black screen(not off) right after those rotating circles and right before the log in screen or gives a blue screen saying "windows failed to load properly". Most of the time when i restart from bios it boots up normally. (this happens pretty much randomly if i am not at default settings)
2)when i do get into windows, prime95 freezes instantly when i set multiplier to 22.5 or higher with a buss speed at 200MHz
The first problem stumps me completely. I will stress test in prime95 with a multiplier up to 22 (~4400MHz) for a few hours with no errors. Once i restart or shut down it will give me that problem or not. After those numbers it happens more frequently.
As for the second problem i have been google searching for a while trying to get different solutions and still nothing. My process is raise cpu multiplier by .5 and stress test for about 2 hours rinse and repeat until failure. once it fails ill raise the Vcore by .25. Now i can run up to a multiplier of 22 with 1.4v with no problem in prime. Once i get over that it freezes instantly. So i raise vcore and still freezes. i got all the way up to 1.55v and no change. i also tried adjusting ram volts and speed, and made sure ht and nb frequencies were close to stock. Reason i am so confused with not being able to get over 4.4GHz is this most people with similar set up are at 4.8GHz+;
If some could give some suggestions or point me to another thread/article (i have read through most overclocking tutorials multiple times on multiple forums) that has similar problems that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
"Stable" settings (with exception of problem 1 happening sometimes)
Core speed: 4400MHz
Core Voltage: 1.4v
Multiplier: x22
Bus Speed: 200MHz
NB Freq: 2200MHz
HT Freq: 2200MHz
DRam Freq: 1333MHz
DRam V: 1.5v
NB Volt: 1.116v
NBHT v: 1.214
System parts
mobo:Crosshair V Formula-Z
CPU: FX8530
RAM:x2 8gb G.Skill Trident x 1600 cl7 (also tryed with x2 4gb G.Skill ripsaws 1333 cl9)
CPU cooler: Custom built water cooling loop
PSU: xfx 650w
Thanks again. It just gets frustrating when you think you have tried everything and get no results.
