Stuck in sleep

[djshortsleeve]

See my sig.

I did a quick auto overclock to 4.35 GHz last night and when I woke up the machine seemed to be stuck between sleep mode or something. The monitor had no signal but the CPU fan seemed to be active and the it was not asleep.

Any ideas here?

If it's in sleep mode, and restarting isn't bringing it out, turn it off, and pull the RAM out for a few seconds. I believe sleep states are saved in RAM, and taking the RAM out will clear the sleep state.

So, its it a good bet that RAM is not agreeing with this overclock?

Who knows. How many RAM modules do you have, and what sizes are they? 12GB isn't a common amount of RAM for a dual channel setup.

I have 8GB of Corsair Vengeance...

Err, yeah, you're right. Wow. I don't know what I was looking at to get 12GB.

So what happens when you restart the computer?

It happens everytime. I auto tune to 4.35 GHz, walk away, then move mouse to wake up and it sounds like it is coming on, but monitor never gets signal.

bios update fixed that exact same issue on my dfi x58 T3eH6 board...i mean the exact issue..switched to older bios and it was not a problem with the previous bios..
I emailed tech support and reported the problem..next bios fixed the issue...

I got it. Its the PLL overvoltage.
