Hi.

I received and built this machine on Friday

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/8pac...locked-quad-core-gaming-bundle-bu-050-as.html

all went well however I ran into problems when trying to do the overclock.

I tried this process a couple of times and reinstalled the OS a couple of times also.

The last time I ran it the machine would not boot or boot and run for 5-10 mins before encountering a blue screen.

Each blue screen would be different, I have not come across such a variety! One was IRQ not less or equal than. I think another mentioned system time, one mentioned "K" and a few others.


I went the route of downloading the BIOS and then applying the overclocked config. Both of these tasks competed without issue.

To confirm I used this BIOS

and this config

After spending some time trying to get this working I gave up and downloaded the latest ASUS BIOS and ran this.

The machine has been fine since (this was Saturday).


Has anything changed or have I done anything wrong do you think? I want to try and get the overclock working tonight if I have enough free time to do so.

Cheers.
 
Okay just tried the process again.

I re-downloaded the BIOS and Overclock profile and applied them without issue.

Within a minute or two I hit a blue screen. Again a new error this time "CRITICAL SERVICE FAILED".

I have reverted back to BIOS 1402 and defaults and so far things are normal again.

The only error I can see in the event log is

The driver \Driver\WudfRd failed to load for the device SWD\WPDBUSENUM\{ef6f9ff7-bc56-11e5-9bce-b618527aab3b}#0000000000008000.

I took this quick screen grab after the overclock and before the blue screen

Where to go from here?

Thanks.
 
Just to follow up I changed a couple of settings as 8 Pack suggested and the machine is running very nicely now.

Cheers all.
