OVERCLOCK HAS FAILED..

jimbob83avfc · 28 Oct 2011 at 20:12

Hi all, bought a bundle from OCuk couple of weeks ago and had a few problems with it when i first had it. I thought it may have been software issues although i dont really know too much about computers.

The problem i had was that it would randomly restart after several seconds of trying to boot up. I even put my old hard drive back in thinking maybe it could be that, but no joy, so i did a fresh install of windows and everything was fine, until today..

Ive bought Battlefield and am really looking forward to playing it, but when i get in to game the computer freezes after a few seconds. Then when i restart i get a screen that comes up and says 'OVERCLOCK FAILED'. I am really disappointed as i have paid for an overclocked bundle and obviously something is not right.

Can anybody help me please? As i am dying to play this game and sort out these problems once and for all.

This is the bundle i bought..

Is that just a simple 1 click easy to do tweak? I don't want to have to start messing with voltages etc as I don't know what I'm doing. Is there a way of running it at stock speed for now to see if that works? I have it loading up the OCuk profile which is obviously overclocked, is there a way to set it to default?

Cheers for the reply mate

I'm not thinking of changing anything to do with the OCuk profile mate, I was just wondering if there was a default profile in the bios that would let me select it to run at stock? I wouldn't mess with with any overclock settings anyway because I have no idea how to overclock.

Cheers

Just curious but how would it? the OCUK profile is stored to the bios, surely he can take the OCUK profile, change it and save it as a separate profile with no repercussions?

I wasn't even thinking of that mate, surely there must be a way of just selecting a default profile which is completely desperate from the OCuk profile? That's what I had in mind.

I've found "load optimized defaults" F5. Will thy just set everything to default and keep the OCuk profile?

Ok thanks for the help mate, I set it back to default last night an battlefield ran perfect with no freezes or crashes at all. Somewhere along the line during overclocking something has gone wrong, it's obviously the overclock that was causing the freezes
