    Lockup in Games - No BSOD

    It crashed once in about 3-4 hours of game time. I have already ran memtest on each stick - both passed after ~10 hours with 0 errors. Setting Windows to not auto reboot and to create small mem dumps was my first step, but no crashes produce a dump file so I assume that's because it's not...

    Lockup in Games - No BSOD

    Bump. Well, just got the same crash with different SATA cables so that can be ruled out. Still no minidump file. Not sure what else to do - I just don't know.

    Lockup in Games - No BSOD

    Alright. Changed back to the old SATA cables I was using in my old build and was able to play a game that previously locked up for about three hours with no issues. Maybe coincidence, but hopefully the new SATA cable was just a dud.

    Lockup in Games - No BSOD

    Would be odd that this PSU would be dying already since I just bought it in April and it's totally overkill for this build. As for the WD Green, I only keep media on it - games are on the WD Black. Someone on another forum suggested it could be a crap SATA cable, which I did change to the...

    Lockup in Games - No BSOD

    Totally stumped with this one guys. I just built a mostly new ITX build and in two games now I get a similar crash. After some game time (random; Sometimes in 10 mins, other times hours with no issues), the audio produces a short burst of static and cuts out and the entire system locks - can't...

    2500k OC Frustration

    I'm heading out for a little, but I am stable at x42 @ 1.34v as well. Going to keep going lower after I get back. I've tested all my RAM before when I was trying to figure this out and didn't see any problems. I was trying to OC previously with PLL overv off and I was still getting BSOD 0124.

    2500k OC Frustration

    Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3P Rev1.3 Corsair HX750W More than enough. I bumped the mult down to 42 and I am stable at 1.35v and continuing lower. Not sure why I can't get stable at 45 - even at an absurd 1.4v.

    2500k OC Frustration

    One thing I've noticed that is happening (according to HWMonitor) is that my vcore is dropping below the set value during prime95, which I believe is why I keep BSODing 0124. For example, I'm set on 1.37 right now, prime95 is going fine, and then it freezes and is about to BSOD and the vcore...

    2500k OC Frustration

    I installed latest BIOS, reset my BIOS settings, and just changed the multiplier. It wouldn't boot on auto voltage, so I changed it to what the BIOS recommended (1.36v). Opened prime95, hit run, immediately BSOD 0124. *edit* BSOD 0124 at 1.37v, 1.38v, amd 1.39v on default BIOS settings.

    2500k OC Frustration

    I did this originally and it wouldn't even POST on auto voltage, but I will try again I suppose.

    2500k OC Frustration

    Barely 50C load in prime95, but I can't even get to 4.5GHz now for whatever reason.

    2500k OC Frustration

    I have a 2500k cooled with a H100 in a Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3P. When I first got the H100 (was after the chip had been burned in), I immediately OCd to 4.5GHz. I disabled C1E, speedstep, all that jazz, turned on PLL overload, changed multiplier to 45 and kept getting 0124 BSOD, so I continued to...

    SteelSeries Siberia V2 Replacement

    Couldn't turn down the SS 7H iPod for $40 - lowest retail online is $120! First time I spotted a damn nice deal on 1saleaday and bought it. Thanks a bunch! Unfortunately they are only for iOS handhelds because the input jack is a 3-band, so the mic wouldn't work on a PC and I also read that...

    SteelSeries Siberia V2 Replacement

    I was shopping around for some new headphones to replace my Siberia V2s (nothing wrong with them, just felt like getting new headphones), but after some shopping around in the $80-120 range, I didn't find anything that grabbed my attention. I was looking at the ASUS Vulcan ANC, but found out the...
