I have been experimenting with overclocking my AMD Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition. Tonight my pc kept crashing and rebooting. On viewing the windows event log I saw that the following error was logged -
Fatal hardware failure
AMD Northbridge
Hyper transport link timeout failure.
On doing a bit of research on various forums, other people have suffered this and a probable cause is a motherboard fault, in that some capacitors have blown causing the wrong voltage to be feed to the northbridge causing the crashes. Just wondering if anyone else has came across this.
