Freezing after stress testing
 

Hey guys I am dumbfounded right now. I can pass say prime95, but the damn PC freezes when I stop the test. I don't have any screenies because I can't do shit. I'm at 4700mhz and have passed stress testing at 1.35-1.40 trying higher vcore to fix this. I've tried ram from 1333mhz to 2133. Same shit. VTT has been changed. Realtemp, cpuz and anything else open will just "stop responding" and I can't open anything else nor restart. I have to hold the power button.

same thing with LinX ?

temps decent ?


First thing I would try would be some different stix if above is 2 yes's

Maybe your os is shot to shit? Or your stick is baddeeeee.

Could be the OS...

Check ICH temps after stress testing it shouldnt rely on the ssds, but ICHs get worked hard with high speed SSDs especially in RAID0.. wouldnt think the stress testing would hit them but...

Also LLC maybe set to high?

Good point on ich, mine gets warm evwn with the room being frozen but i dont have a fan on it.

Yes with LinX but not near as bad. My hottest core temps are 73c. I very well could be ram, but it was chugging along at 2133 7-9-7 last time I had turned this rig on.

Could be. I'll try uninstalling SP1 laterz.

LLC is set at lvl 1 so volts should be right around where they are set in bios. I haven't upped the ich volts but I did think about it. Then I didn't because I couldn't think of what would stress it. I'll try that for sure. How big of a bump usually? I do have all the ports filled up and two R0 arrays.

I've tried up to 1.14 PCH volts. I'm going to try updating the firmware to the 007 for my SSD's before moving any further.

I highly doubt it's the SSD's.
OS most likely.

OS is my next step. I mean prime will keep running and show it passing tests if I don't touch it. After an OS change who knows. Guess ram slots? I'm just trying to go from basic to hard in order without skipping steps because with my luck, the step I skip is the one that fixes it. It just blows my mind since it will continue to run/pass prime95 as long as I don't touch it.

some type of voltage spike or something when it stops?
