Hi Folks

Got a problem with my new system, spec is at the bottom.

I currently have it overclocked to 3.2Ghz and went through the overclocking guide in these forums. I just wanted to work my way up slowly as this was my first attempt, so stuck with the normal suggested settings of FSB at 400Mhz with a multiplier of 8, set Ram back to default at 4,4,4,12 and cpu VID is 1.325v and all testing showed it to be steady with no temp issues. Max temp was 62, 62, 58, 58 during Prime95 and Tuniq and Antec 900 fans were not even on full at the time. (My error) :rolleyes:

The problem is that when I go gaming online, (Vanguard at the moment), I get numerous BSOD with Senfilt.sys errors (provider is Sensaura, part of Creative), "Senfilt.sys - address B79AC15D base at B7961000 datestamp 4415a07c" which is a file used in SoundMAX HD audio software for my new Asus P5K-E mb. On one occassion I also got 0x0000007E(0xC0000005 etc etc) which is normally MS driver issues and I have downloaded all latest drivers other than bios at 0602, as this was recommended as best for OC on this board.

Now I know from Google that this is a common issue, but is there a way to prevent this crashing via bios, sound settings, or do I need to get myself a sound card utilising different software from the onboard sound provided by Asus? (i.e. Not with Senfilt.sys) I saw a post on another forum where the guy uninstalled soundmax and windows downloaded a default HD driver, but that was with Vista and I use XP and can find no alternative.

Going back to default settings seems to stop the problem (so far), which defeats the whole point of me trying OCing.

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.


Cheers!

Maybe your overlock isn't as stable as you think it is. Have you done basic things like locking the PCI-E bus?

Try a bit more vcore maybe? Is the voltage for the RAM correct? Can you isolate the issue by clocking back the RAM and it's timings? Or even leave all of the overclocked settings as they are and disable the onboard sound in the bios to see if the problem goes away?

Also, do you only get this when gaming? Surely if it's a sound problem then it would do it when playing videos/music.
 
Hi

I had the PCI-E at 101
Ram at 2.1v
I'll try to see how it goes with Ram timings at 5,5,5,18?
Will try it with the sound disabled also.

I haven't had a problem with other playback on DVD or Music, that's why it's got me stumped. The game itself doesn't seem particularly taxing for this system, but seems to be the only thing that causes the problem.

Just did memtest too and all passed, so I know that's ok.

Thanks for the reply, any help for this OC nooby is gratefully received on this problem. :)
 
Not at the moment. I've only just built this system so this was the first thing I tried since, now just waiting for Crysis to arrive and see how that fares.
