Hi all need some advice againso im here cap in hand once more.
today my pc just shut itself down for no apparent reason all of a sudden with no warning bosh black screen, and this is while i was sitting next to it on my second pc/server.
there was nothing runniong at the time and its pretty much a fresh install a week old with nothing but games, drivers, and some codecs installed it doesnt even get used to browse the net. so anyway ive checked the error logs and the only thing there is a warning that the last shut down was unexpectad and that its though i dont think i need informed of that!
one thing that sprung to mind is the vcore i have set on the cpu may be the problem as when i first got the cpu i was sure that i had wread the core was 1.25 but mine defaulted at 1.325 so i promptly knocked it back to 1.25 and it ran fine at the speed in my sig, so just to make sure what is stock volts for a 2140?


ps:cpu has been stable like that for about 1 month
 
You can download the Debugging Tools for Windows, which will help you identify the BSOD in question as you missed the info when it did restart. When you download and install that you can follow the next steps:

1. Open the program and click File menu, then "Symbols path"
2. Type in "SRV*c:\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols" without the quotes
3. Then click File -> Open Crash Dump and browse to C:\Windows\Minidump and open the latest crash dump
4. When you open it, it'll take a while to load in but when it does you'll be connected to the debugger
5. When you are connected type in "!anaylze -v" without the quotes to get info on why the computer rebooted.

It might take a while to reach step 5, sometimes it takes around 30 seconds so be patient. What this will do is give you a full page of information regarding the error that you have had. You should if possible do that and paste the contents here so we can take a look at it, namely the filename that caused the problem and the actual BSOD message (such as IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL - it's generally near the top of the report).

Also I would turn off the "Automatic Reboots" so you can identify problems from Blue Screens instead of just getting a reboot. You can disable this by right click on "My Computer" then click "Properties". Go into the "Advanced" tab and click the "Settings" button under "Startup and Recovery". About half way down the window that opens is a tick box that says "Automatic Reboots". Turn this off and click "OK". Now if you get another reboot caused from a system fault, you'll get information from a blue screen rather than nothing.

I would also consider maybe doing a Orthos 8 hour+ stability test if you have not already done it. Whilst your overclock is nothing massive, you have undervolted the CPU (although not by a huge amount) and it is worth testing that you have complete stability and you can rule out the CPU volts / overclock being the problem. You can download Orthos here if you don't have it already. It may not be the CPU though and you could be looking at the RAM. Is it set to the correct voltage? Also some RAM really doesn't like being overclocked much, and although you don't have a huge overclock on the RAM it just might not like it, especially if you have not adjusted the timings accordingly (what type of RAM do you have?).
 
ok not entirely sure what you need from this so ill give you it all :D
hope you see what it is

KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000008e)
This is a very common bugcheck. Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem. Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003. This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG. This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG. This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: 8052bc10, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: 85c9b020, Trap Frame
Arg4: 00000000
