Hey, back in 2013 I bought the Quasar 270i bundle
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/quas...ocked-haswell-gaming-pc-bundle-bu-165-oe.html
A couple of years ago I wanted to increase the amount of RAM as I use this PC for game development. So I doubled up on the RAM (same stuff) that came in the original bundle, I knew that the overclock that Overclockers had done to my PC would very likely be broken by the RAM upgrade so I changed to the "no overclock" profile in the BIOS. This set it running at 3.5GHz, at which I was content for quite a while.
So today I decided to try switching the overclocked profile back on, I then ran the OCCT standard test, I had a BSOD within about 3 minutes. I've just gone into the BIOS and lowered the clock speed (CPU multiplier I believe (can't check as test is running)) down to 4.3GHz and begun running the test again.
So the question is, am I being incredibly naive in my attempt?
