Hey all, this is only my second attempt at overclocking and I'm running into a little bit of trouble with my attempts so far.
X4 940
Asus M3N72-D
XFX 8800GT
2 GB 1066 Kingston Hyper X
I can overclock it a tiny ammount without any problems (3150mhz) and run OCCT although the cpu gets a little hot it does complete the hour test.
My trouble starts when I try anything over 3300mhz. When I run OCCT within about 30 seconds of the stress test starting I get a BSOD and the PC reboots.
I've also had the problem running games when its overclocked, I'll get random weird textures or the game will freeze up completley.
Could it be the power supply causing the problems? Its not the best brand in the world and I think I may now be close to its output limit. http://jeantech.com/600.htm
I used the calculator on the Asus website and it suggests I'm using up all 600 watts as the system stands right now.
Is there any software thats able to determine how much power you are actually drawing from the PSU?
