Unstable Overclock??

BEn_2600+ · 13 Nov 2006 at 19:47

Ive overclocked my E6300 to 2.94Ghz its fully stable in Orthos, but as soon as i launch BF2 loud static noise comes from my headphones, then the PC crashes, is this a overclock stability prob or a game/driver prob?

Thanks, Ben

Ive got a Hiper Type R 580W, what do you think?

EDIT: Just realised its the 530W not the 580W, if it makes a difference, is there anyway to be certain if it is the PSU?

Thanks, Ben

I run Orthos for 1 hour, is this long enough? Whats weird is that BF2 etc crashes within seconds but Orthos lasted 1 hour. Also it was using the blend test.
Im back at stock at the mo but ill try and check 3d mark 06 later today.

Thanks, Ben

3D mark 06 runs fine all the way through.

TBH it sound s like a driver issue. I have had similar issues in the past...and found that updatuing sound drivers helped. I also used to get games freezing and PC locking up with a screetching noise from the speakers...similar? Try updating your soudn drivers..especially if they are Creative ones..and also try a different video driver.

Yeah thats my prob! Ive got a X-fi XM and im on the latest sound drivers and video drivers,Any suggestions?
