Hey guys.

I just installed all my new parts which i got delivered super fast :)

They are http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-004-AS&groupid=43&catid=2053&subcat=2067
and a 650W OCZ power supply

I got it all plugged in an great first boot attempt would not boot, moved the HDD into sata plug 4 and it worked a treat.
Got all the drivers installed, ( although had a issue with a "unknown device not installing) now since then I've been getting irregular crashes, these can be from intial log on or 25mins (est of longest time).

Trying for the life of me to figure it out, as everything else is running sweet.

Most internet searches are throwing back, virus checks, ram issues, hdd issues. I'm just not great at testing for issues, plus the fact its a overclocked bundle i darent change much incase i lose it.

Cheers
Rob
 
which one of these shall i try first.

I didnt re-install but i ran vista repair.

Im not too awesome with PC's more of a tinker'er When you say clear the CMOS and remove battery? Could you give me a little more detail? :P

Oh i have had about 2-4 blue screens too :(
 
alright i'l give it a shot now, thought you might have meant that. Just needed to be clear.

Also i forgot to mention about 3/4 times on start up it says "fail to read overclock" or something along those line, i enter setup and reactivate the overclocking and it boots up fine again

EDIT : last blue screen was during install of latest GPU drivers.

thanks for that update. I cleared the CMOS and its not saved the overclock its now set target to its original clock speed.

I've not crashed yet, but will see what happens, tomorrow i will ring them for advice on clocking it again.. after that i will do new install of windows. (i assume this doesnt remove majority of info.. sounds stupid i know)
 
thanks for all the advice been well over a hour and played some CoD to test it out, no crashes. So the issue must have been with the overclock, il speak to OCUK tomorrow
 
spoke with ocuk, possible voltage but issue is still there.

ran a clean install as well. Keep getting a drive check every time i boot up, so possibly a harddrive issue?

About to throw it all out the window and forget it lol
 
Small update.

Got pc running on windows 7 all seemed fine. Noticed clock wasnt on. Added the over clock within 1-2hours got my first freeze, rebooted froze straight away.

Going to get back in touch with OCUK, last advice was to up the CPU voltage, Hasnt made any difference :*(

Ran Overclock test (OCCT), reported back with a error on core #1 any idea?
