Hi there,

I have recently been overclocking my cpu and have noticed that my pc has started to be a bit temperamental. Whenever im playing games or watching films it completely freezes up randomly. The HD led gets stuck on and nothing works unless I reboot.

Do you think ive buggered up the CPU or could it be HD issue?? I did a defrag the other day and seems ok..

Any ideas?

Cheers :(
 
yer I did an intel burn test.. passed that. It was fine a few days back, been running it like this for a week and only now its started to play up.

Ive taken everything back down to stock and it still locks up :<
 
It'll be your install thats corrupting (possibly due to an unstable overclock which has caused windows to bug out) or your HD is dying.
 
on stock settings now but still locking up...

cpu is only getting to about 45-47 tops.... idle is normally 30 on overclock...

normally its around 25-30.

You should try running it on prime95 for 2 or more hours or do 20 runs on linX
 
I think my hard drive might be on the way out.... I turned on my computer today and it didnt recognise a boot disk? I think all these locks up and weirdness thats been happening is the hard drive not the cpu... guess theres no way to tell until i get a new one and try it out...
