Hey everyone, my name is Jonny, and I recently purchased a system from OCUK. I have been tinkering with systems for a few years. 6 years ago I built my own system, for more than the price of the one I have got now, but it was obviously nowhere near as good.

I have managed to overclock it to 3.3Ghz form 3Ghz (temp gets to 49c, but when I do get it to 3.450Ghz (with the voltage on auto, the system boots up fine, survives on prime95 without issues, but then I get the blue screen memory dump when shutting down or restarting). Not sure if it is because I haven't adjusted to voltage.

Please could someone help me.

Currently running on stock cooling at the moment, but can easily attached my Tuniq Tower 120 Xtreme, for better cooling.
 
Post your full spec i.e. Motherboard, CPU, RAM, PSU etc as it might help us determine what the problem might be.

Also welcome to Ocuk forums :)
 
OK, thank you for the quick replies.

Power Supply: Corsair CX 500W
CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 Dual Core 250 (REGOR) 3.00GHz (Socket AM3)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H 880G (Socket AM3) DDR3 Motherboard
RAM: OCZ Gold Low Voltage 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Dual Channel
GFX: nVidia GT 430 1GB-GDDR3


CPU is currently at 3.3Ghz at 1.3250v (the voltage is the stock voltage).
RAM: Is currently running at 1333Mhz.
FSB is also 220 x 15 (15 is the maximum multiplier I can use)
 
Please could someone help me. I am still not sure how much to increase the voltages when overclocking. I have currently got the FSB at 220 with a multiplier of 15 (this is the maximum I can get at the moment). I understand that AMD CPU's love the cold and can work at temps of -240c. But currently haven't got around to getting any watercooling system yet.

CPU: Athlon II X2 250 3Ghz (running 3.3Ghz) 1.3250v
RAM: OCZ Low-voltage Gold 1333Mhz
PSU: Corsair CX 500W
