Waco Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Ah waco. Did you contradict yourself?? I don't think so. He said the OC was unrelated to software oddness and I disagreed. I've definitely seen some wacky things with unstable overclocks. For example - the X3 in my home theater makes windows BOUNCE AROUND when I try to unlock the 4th core.

AkakmanH Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 I have been running Avast for over 2 years with an overclocked system with absolutely no problem or issues. I am running an Intel system. Maybe that is the difference? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that is the difference? Or your overclock is fully stable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaporX Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 I agree with the others, this sounds like an instability that is causing a weird file effect and the software sees it as an attack. Also, silly idea, maybe try a different AV program, download Security Essentials or Comodo real quick and try it with those and see.

Waco Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Or your overclock is fully stable. This. Only unstable ovrrclocks cause issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d6bmg Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Microsoft Security Essential never have any problem with unstable overclock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETTERSTOTHEDEV Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Waco said it though: An unstable OC can cause software issues. That's why it's considered unstable: Improper calculations. If the antivirus runs a scans and something doesn't "match" to whatever it's configured to detect: then odds are it may just be an improper calculation came up as a virus. Yeah I can totally see that too but from 1mhz? I bet this crappy board varies that much as a matter of routine and its cool but apply a "clock" and its tweaked to the point of boot failure? I guess I'm going to have to accept the vague "data corruption" theory and move on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If within Windows, the clock change might just be triggering something in your antivirus. If in the BIOS...that'd be extremely surprising with a 1 MHz overclock. Some boards really are that flaky though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
