HELP!!(please)
Just built this rig before christmas...ran ok for a while..did an auto overclock..Bam! core 3 shut down.
Now it keeps freezing up on factory settings and always shuts down core 3 after trying to overclock!
Ran prime 95 overnight,as well as memtest..both came up as a pass..
also ran OCCT,and that said it was ok too.
All temperatures are below 42 degrees,and i only play bf2 bc and browse really,but it still keeps freezing up!Somebody save me please

never do a auto overclock! got any idea how much voltage you were putting through the cpu?

you may have killed a core.

also reinstall your drivers just to eliminate that.
 
Damn,i bought the processor and mobo because they were supposed to do a safe auto overclock for you,as i know nothing about it.
If i remember right,none of the voltages really increased too much 1.3v to 1.42v,and the core still works when set on standard 6 core(according to the test programs)
