Playing a spot of bf3 just now, all fine until about 15 minutes into a round. System just froze. No bsod, black screen etc. Hit ctrl/alt/del and closed the game. Just a bf3 has stopped responding error, no WHEA error in event viewer, just the message application hang error. Currently have the system at 4.5ghz, 36x125, auto voltage. Havent touched any other voltage settings either. Temps on gpu of 60c, 64c max on the cpu. So all well within limits.
 
does it do the same at stock speeds ?

in the past i've had battlefield get very touchy about overclocks, had systems work fine doing everything else, but battlefield didn't like it.
 
Only had a quick blast at stock a few days ago, as i had just got the system up and running after being without a monitor. No issues in that short time though. Gotta agree about the bf games being sensitive, had to do a fair bit of tweaking with an overclocked 4770k and 4790k when playing bf4. 4.5 on the former, 4.7 on the latter.
 
So that is where you went! I thought you had gotten bored of death valley.

Could it be ram? I know that Joe used to get freezes and bsods due to ram overclocking whilst playing bf3. He would do overnight stress tests fine but bf3 would find an instability in a few minutes.

Yep, that was the cause of my dissapearance. Ill do a quick memtest in a bit. Currently it's running on XMP, 3000mhz, c15-15-15-35, 2T at 1.35v.
 
Might be worth testing at lower speeds. You know more about ram stuff that me though - give me 1600Mhz CL9 and I am happy!
 
Ive knocked the cpu back to stock but the game still froze, maybe try bios defaults which will lower the ram speed a bit.
 
I don't think m power x99 has OC socket. In fact almost certain so 3000mhz mems difficult to get 100% stable.

Junk nvidia drivers?? Latest not so good!

Try sa io also.

NV drivers do seem to have taken a bit of a quality hit lately.

Regarding voltages, are there any hard and fast rules for max settings on vcore, sa, io? Seen a few on here reccomend no more than 1.3v on vcore for 24/7 use and 1.9v on input should be enough. Temps are pretty good at 64c max in games, though one core spiking to 83c briefly under XTU bench. Rest mid 70's. Cooled by a k2 dual tower air heatsink.

EDIT. Board is indeed the non oc socket model. Purchased from Viz over on MLG.
 
Will do, any of the latest msi boards feature the oc socket? Heard that it first appeared on asus boards.
 
Dropped the ram speed down to 2666mhz, default timings at 15-15-15-35, 2T @1.35v. Played a quick blast without incident. Cpu still at stock to rule it out.
