compbrainiac Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 (edited) Anyone ever have a cpu pass OCCT for 8 hrs then a week later, fail every 15 min test i try..? It will blue screen during OCCT when it hits like 7 mins left.. I lowered to 3.7ghz and it passed... I notice heat is a ltitle higher too.. could that be b/c my processor worked itself in? its only a week old Edited December 12, 2009 by compbrainiac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sack_patrol Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 CCC is rubbish. Waste of memoriez. See if you put your gpu back to stock, if your CPU will be stable as before. That will tell you if the problem is in the GPU. If it is, then either you can't overclock that high your CPU + an OC on the gpu. If you still don't pass after turning back to stock GPU settings, then it's something else. Make sure that you REALLY didn't change anything else. I don't think that a cpu can "work itself in" that fast if at all. See if Cool n Quite is disabled. It makes messes some times. I've also read about the PCIE Clock in the bios that I think increases bandwidth but decreases stability...something like that. Some people say they've experienced a performance gain, some say it ruins cards. I personally don't touch it, and I suggest you don't either unless you want to spend hours and hours of reading on what exactly it does lol. It probably won't help anyway.

ccokeman Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Are you overclocking the CPU and GPU? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

compbrainiac Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 RMA"d the biostar board.. got a gigabyte ma785G-UD3H... ran 10 hr OCCT test.. computer fell asleep, turned back on and had 18 mins left in test, so i guess it fell asleep far into it? Anyhow it passed but checkout CPU usage, it drops to 0 for like 150 mins.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sack_patrol Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Maybe it has something to do with the sleepy PC. Try to look in your Power Options and disable everything that turns off after a certain time. Mainly the HDD turn off option. Or hibernation.

Do I have to redo test now or am I stable you think? Should I do a Intel Burn in test 5 rounds to be sure? **Passed BurnIn test from Intel..

sack_patrol Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Do Prime95 Priority 10 Blend for 5 hours or so. If u wish. When I finish overclocking and I'm checking stability I use all stress testers I have, and run them all one after the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

potatochobit Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) since it has been so cold outside are you running the heater in your house at full blast? this has caused my computer to crash using the stock HSF while overclocked *cough* windows 7 sleep mode is buggy, btw lots of power management option fixes still being worked out Edited December 13, 2009 by potatochobit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
