Vista 64bit BSOD's

NotAGolf · 17 Jul 2007 at 11:26

I've just installed vista 64bit but i'm getting a lot of BSOD's, however they occur less frequently when put my cpu and ram back to stock speeds. It's 12hours Orthos stable in XP so I dont know why its screwing up. Any ideas?

And anyone know of a list of overclocking apps and utilities that work under Vista X64?

How are you overclocking?

What are you overclocking to?

When everything is at stock does it still BSOD at all and if so how much less often?

What hardware are you running?

Why couldn't you be bothered to provide any of this information in the first place?

What is the meaning of life?

Just upping the FSB in BIOS

In sig

2 hours with no BSOD so far completely at stock, about once every half hour at max OC, bout once an hour on about 1/2 max OC

I pretty much did apart from specific failure rates...cos I dont know what they are yet

Nope...why would I when I only have 2? Or would this help solve the problem?

Have you memtest'ed the RAM at the overclocked speed to see if it's stable?

Apologies, my crappy work screen is so dark I couldn't see your signature.

Anyway I suggest wacking up your Vcore. My overclock BSOD'd on startup at 1.35V but at 1.375 it's rock solid.

Well its 12 hours stable on Orthos blend test which tests cpu and ram pretty hardcore so I would have thought its ok.

No worries! My Vcore is already at 1.45 so I dont really wanna push much further than that.

It's still running ok so I think I might just have to lower my overclock

I was getting BSOD's like this until I upped the voltage as well.

There's also the reason that 32-bit stable doesn't mean 64-bit stable. Try running a 64-bit edition of prime95 perhaps...
