could my overclock be causing this?

Langlest · 11 Jun 2008 at 17:54

here is my system spec

Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 @3gig
NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT 512MB
SB Audigy 2 ZS Audio
Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 PC2-6400C5 TwinX
Abit IP35
Corsair HX 620W Psu
120gig Maxtor SATA
300gig Maxtor SATA

it runs games with no problems but a few days ago i was encoding a movie for my girlfriend with blaze media pro and got a BSOD, i thought it was a one off so i started the encode again but then i got another one

here is a picture of the BSOD, i dunno if it will help figure out what the cause was or not

i also got another one today while unpacking/installing a gamerip but the code was different

yea, aint that a ram problem?

slightly loosen timings or reduce overclock on ram?

set your Memory to run at 2.00,this puts less strain on it,also,you could be having trouble with the voltage,thats why it shut down,what voltage are you using for 3GHz?

well to be honest i dont really know much about overclocking , i just used the instructions on the site

1. CPU Setup - User Defined
2. Multiplier - Default
3. Front Side Bus (FSB) - 333MHz (1333MHz FSB)
4. CPU Core voltage - You might need to take this upto 1.45v maximum but generally 1.4v is fine dependent on the motherboard.
5. We advice you purchase an uprated CPU Cooler such as the Arctic Cooler Freezer 7 Pro to better cool the CPU.

i just went into the bios and reset it all to the default values because the overclock wasnt really needed

i only did it to get something for nothing

thanks for the help guys

always manually set the ram voltage and timings to the ram specification! for more stable clocks

thanks

if i ever decide to overclock it again ill post here first to make sure i know what im doing

auto RAM voltages are almost never the same as the RAM specifies, so always set the RAM yourself to the amount specified by the RAM manufacturer.

oh, i missunderstood , ill find out what they are then and set them

I have similar RAM to what you have and run it at 2.1v.

5-5-5-18 timings are your stock settings obviously loosen these up if you have a high clock on the ram
