VicVic Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Hi there Today I found the reason for why my w7 wont enter its becuase of AMD video driver I found it by having a new windows and rebooting the system every time when i installed a new driver I successfully set i7 3820 at 1.25x34=4.25Ghz with turbo boost disable I didnt touch vtt and left vcore at 1.3 It booted up everytime but not after i installed AMD drivers for 7970s I tried from 12.1-12.4 and none of it worked out well Did I miss somehting that I shouldnt miss or its AMD's problem? Thanks for reading it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Are you absolutely sure your overclock is stable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicVic Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) Are you absolutely sure your overclock is stable? Yep Yep.... I used the same setting installed w7 and everything else the only thing I havent down is to run the benchmark becuase I got video driver problem I rebooted the system everytime after each driver was installed until 12.4 (Also 12.1-12.3) for 7970s Besides that.... I only clocked it at 4.25 GHz (1.25x34 with turbo off) lol Edited June 20, 2012 by VicVic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 How can you be sure it's stable if you haven't run any sort of stability tests? Installing Windows and applications is not an indication of stability at all. Run Prime95 followed by IntelBurnTest to make sure you aren't chasing a problem that doesn't exist.

VaporX Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 I can tell you my experience with the 3820 and overclocking is that you need to boost the Vcore to get over about 4 GHz and be stable. You really need to test stability if you are overclocking before moving to other issues being the root of a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will put my hand on it today What version IntelBurnTest I should use? Edited June 20, 2012 by VicVic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicVic Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 I did the 20 round on intel burn test, but not prime95 yet due to amount of time it takes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 You'll know if it's stable after 1 or two rounds of Prime95, only takes 15 minutes a round. Much better than IBT to find stability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just passed the first 2 round of prime95, self-test 1024k and 8k for total 8 threads in 31 mins I checked each worker and no error showed up Once I put the AMD videro driver 12.3 for 7970.... I still stuck at entering windows 7 So, I entered safe mode to remove the driver and windows became normal again Thanks^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
