'elo,
Been overclocking my new PC and most of the time it is stable, passes SuperPi's, 10 hour plus Orthos runs etc but every now and again it locks up, mainly in windows. BF2 also sometimes dumps me to desktop or v.rarely locks up but then BF2 has never seemed to like o/c's and can be unstable for some on stock.
Sometimes after locking up it then won't boot afterwards without turning the PSU off and leaving for a bit before trying again. And I will sometimes get a load of BIOS beeps but then it boots ok and seems fine. Event logs don't show much.
What I was wondering is, is there a good way to do a full system stress test? One app that does the lot or would I need to look at running Orthos, ATT artifact testing, HDTune benchmark whilst listening to some MP3s.
Like I say CPU and ram seem ok, though I still haven't got around to burning a memtest CD. I think i may up the PCI/Sata voltage option in BIOS (can't remember the exact one atm).
thanks.
