I5 2500k - Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3P Overclocking

Back with yet another problem :(, This really ins't going well for me. Started a thread up in the hardware section but thourght I would also ask here as you have been a major help so far. Thread can be found here, Will love you forever if you can help me out as I'm trying to get coursework done and this is taking up more of that time than actual work XD

Thanks agian!

A few days ago after discussing settings and other things with somebody with pretty much the same setup as mine I got my overclock settings to what I thought was stable.

The computer runs fine under load both playing games and when running a intel burn test for 20 loops.

I have recently found that the computer bluescreens when idle, I will just simply be watching a youtube video not even touching the mouse of keyboard and DAMM, audio skips constantly and I get bluescreen error 124 (Which I already know is hardware/overclock related).

My settings can be seen here. I'm unsure what I need to do as it's fine after tests yet continues to bluescreen :/

Thanks for any information!

Neil what Driver version are you using on your 560ti?, I have a feeling that these bluescreens be down to drivers seeing as it allays seems to happen while on YouTube. Can hardly get through a whole video without it happening. Starting to become a problem :/
 
Are you sure it's overclocking causing that error?, could you use bluescreen viewer and see if it's related to any software?...

I had some bsod issues awhile back on idle, turned out to be my RealTek Ethernet drivers causing it. As for nvidia drivers i'm using 296.10 :)

Also In BlueScreenView it says it was caused by hal.dll and ntosknl.exe

The last 10 memory dumps are all STOP 0x124 errors - usually indicating a hardware problem. BUT, this can also be a compatibility issue, an issue with low-level drivers, or even malware caused.

After updating the drivers i've mentioned it might be worth upping your core volts to that of 1.330V, there maybe a possibility that your chip doesn't like whatever mhz it's been set to. Some people have even had to have 1.4V just to get 4.5! but again this might not be the cause, could be memory related which means memtest.

All stabbing in the dark here :(

Out of interest also make sure your PSU is putting out the correct volts across the range, another thing to test... test everything!
 
remember blue screens can happen with too much voltage just as too little,so maybe he needs to put qpi back to stock? or one/two clicks more than stock at the most

havnt had time to read all the thread but is the ram for sb? or off p55/x58? if so you need more voltage than you would with sb designed ram
 
too much is highly doubtful, as he isn't using too much...

perhaps pushing it to 1.2 QPI and 1.625V for dram but i would not go any higher and i'm still doubtful that it's down to this as he says gaming is fine and so is intel burn test.

who knows :D
 
I'm only going of my board,its asus z68 v pro @4.5ghz I'm using 1.05v qpi/vtt and 1.5v dram,if it locking up in desktop/light loading and showing 124 blue screen code its either too much/too little dram or qpi/vtt

There is a chance 124 error is low/not enough CPU voltage on sb,on x58/p55 100% its qpi/vtt

Try higher level llc or few clicks more dvid,if its crashing when CPU is in idle/power saving mode and not under heavy load/gaming ect points to low CPU voltage in idle,raising llc or offset might help

Wrong board then :p

The Gigabyte ud3p most of the time needs atleast 1.2 qpi/vtt and 1.55 and upwards of dram however most have been ok with it lower for dram. On some boards it suffers from terrible vdroop issues! It wont be too much i can assure you
 
Thanks guys. Need to try and get this sorted asap. Crashes every 30mins are not good when I'm trying to do coursework :/

I have updated and installed the drivers and I will see how things go. Could very well have been the audio driver seeing as it was youtube. I have no idea. And I doubt it will be the voltages wazza300 as I can stay stable on benchmarks on both IBT, Prime95 and long gaming session on battlefield3 on High settings. Seems wired that it's when I'm idle. I have been adivsed in a previous thread to disbale c3/c6 states but dont want my CPU running flat out 24/7 is the only thing.

Thanks agian!
 
Leave c3/c6 states on auto as i have done

Wazza300 you are helping nobody is disagreeing with that fact, we are just disagreeing on what it could be :D

p.s Good idea on the dvid!
 
I don't really have a clue what voltages and what are good but I left it idle for a few mins while watching a YouTube video and this is what they look like

Also I presume you were being sarcastic about the dvid thing seeing as I have manual VCore xD

Image is too big

Nope driver updates didn't help :/, Another crash and agian while watching YouTube. I have also decreased DRam voltage to 1.50 so I doubt its that. Not really sure what to do :/
