Hi everyone, recently I bought system components from OCUK and have encountered a problem.

This is what I bought:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-003-OB
with the overclock to 4ghz
also bought
coolermaster 850 modular psu
ati saphire 4890 2gb
2x samsung 320gb in raid 0
1x samsung 1tb
it all installed properly and installed vista no problem along with all the drivers.

PLayed COD4 for 5 mins then is froze into a sound loop, so i had to restart the computer then done a stress test with prime 95 and core temp.

Temps went to 72 which i think is ok but after about 15 mins blue screen flashed up saying something about system then rebooted.

Anyone got any ideas on what would be wrong? I thought the overclock would be ok if OCUK sell it like that.

Thanks in advance.
 
Sounds oh so familiar.
Try using RivaTuner to up the fan speed and see if that stops the game freezes.
Then make sure your RAM is running at the right speed + voltages.
Solved it for my mates system.
 
If the above doesn't work - try running memtest and see if it passes with all 3 sticks installed (bootable ISO version.)

If it fails, test each stick individually.

I missed the fact that it's a pre-setup BIOS bundle.

I would drop a post in the OcUK customer service foum link - as if it's the clock that's slightly unstable they will be in a far better position to advise you and may be able to identify very quickly which settings to adjust to get it stable (if it's an unstable clock).

While you wait for a reply i would still run the memtest - and see if passes as the results would be useful whatever the outcome.
 
If this is your RAM - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-017-PA
Then it should run at 1.65V and 1600MHz, that is ofcourse supposing they havent changed anything for the overclock.
Its best to get in touch with OcUK first and see where they stand. If nothing then I would try getting it stable at stock speeds, you can always figure out the overclock with the help of guys here.
 
That is kinda odd, could be the source of the problem if the OcUK staff wasnt paying attention and set it to Kingston spec instead of the Corsair. Can you find out what Corsair RAM it is ?
