Benchmark Crashing to Desktop

GutterPunk · Aug 12, 2004, 02:09 PM

Okie doke this only comes from a certain height of overclock. @ 3.7 ghz it crashes to the desktop just closing the aplication with no error, w/ a recording of 40C for the hottest it got. Could this be because of a lack of volts some where, the highest core voltage was 1.62. Should I up the voltage on the cpu or ram or what! Im confused on what happened as heat is not an issue

Sounds like a memory issue. Relax the timings and/or raise the voltage to the ram and see if it helps

Thats exactly what i was thinking thanks i had some good quality time to think about it during class... raise to the ram and cpu or just ram?

I'd play with the ram first to see if that is the cause. Raise the voltage and if that dont work relax the timings a bit

Okay, una problema how do i find my ram's current voltage so i can see what to up it too! lol

PC Health Status (or however your bios words it) should show it...if not..the manufacturer's website

my guess is it's somewhere around 2? and some bioses let you just choose hwo much to increase the voltage by instead of typign int he actual value

i dunno if i have rev2 of my ram or not which is rated at 2.75 volts as the regular is rated 2.6 so id unno!

okay i just crashed again upped the volts considerabley
i also loosened the timings to 2.4.4.8

If it crashed again after relaxing the timings and raising the ram voltage then it's probably the cpu. Back off a tiny bit and see if it helps

i upped the volts and all is fine, cept for a lil heat... gotta get a hs/f
