Hi guys i need some help i am currently running my i7 with these settings and its almost there!

20 Passes or Intel Burn test pass every time
prime95 small fft only checked for 1-2hrs but thats fine
playing games is fine

but when i come to encode this one film with handbrake i get a bsod every time and im not sure if its my oc heres my set up hope you can help....

i think it might be my oc settings but im not sure what i should try to stabilize my system if some people with better knowledge of overclocking could lend some advice i would be gratefull thanks.
 
Try upping both ur vcore and qpi/dram abit, my overclock can be prime and linX stable at quite low settings but when it comes to encoding and F@H i have to up my vcore and qpi for it to be stable.
 
Tough one really, maybe best way would be to set them both to 1.3v, try encoding with handbrake, if it will start encoding without BSODing, then we know it was those at fault.

Then you can start lowering them both untill u get to that point it BSOD's again, then raise it to the last known setting it ran fine with.
 
Your vcore should be ok for 3.8ghz, i'd up the qpi. Try 1.25v and move up to 1.275v if thats not enough 1.3v is also fine for qpi. If you still have no joy bump the vcore a notch, you shouldn't need more than 1.25v vcore for 3.8ghz with a d0 but some chips do need more.
 
i could try it stock but i think i will go with the idea of stepping up the qpi/dram volts slightly and retry it gets about 2hrs into encoding then bsod i will try again tonight with new values does any one no what a 124 stop code would mean in terms of overclocking?
 
Did a quick google and found the following about that code.

A STOP 0x124 error is an error that's reported via the Windows Hardware Error Architecture (WHEA). This type of error is reported by the hardware (most likely your CPU) and doesn't conform to the normal Windows memory dump analysis techniques.

These errors are normally hardware errors - and these are the most likely causes (in this order):
- hardware failure
- hardware incompatibility
- driver corruption/incompatibility

But as you are overclocking im guessing as most have said its a volt thing, i used to get them quite abit at least 1 every 2/3 days whilst folding, kinda same stress as encoding, but i was prime and linx stable.

So far all iv done is put my vcore up 1 notch to 1.272 (LLC On), and my qpi to 1.3v and touch wood, i have not had a single blue screen since, after 5 days of folding.

Ofcourse you may not need to go that high as my clock is 4ghz, using a higher bclk of 200.
 
ok so i will try my qpi v @ 1.24 if it fails again ill notch it up to 1.25 and so on at what point should i think about upping my cpu volts or should what im giiving it be enough?
 
My dad's PC always had that problem, and some others, on XP, and we thought the RAM was most likely the problem, turned out that the hard drive was corrupt and that scan disk didn't help us at all, a new hard drive solved about 10 blue screens a day, so perhaps a 3rd party program to scan the disk would help..

I just had error 0x00000124 and it turned out to be the overclock even though it's stable in tests, the error happened now and then, mostly in games, I just lowered to 4.0GHz and then made sure the RAM and CPU had enough voltage, only change dram voltage and vcore.

Just a note really
