Resetting then either solves the problem or produces the Windows error screen and selecting 'Start Windows normally' solves the problem.īIOS B which I have never updated seems to run without issue. It seems to run OK at the default setting though booting up can sometimes be problematic with it freezing intermittently at the MSI Logo page or at the Windows screen just before the animated logo starts.

The Overclockers OC has never run successfully while the other two seem to run for one session OK but when I switch off then restart I get the 'Overclock instability' message. I've tried several OC methods - the Overclockers UK setting, OC Genie and my own modest OC which involved just changing the CPU ratio to 38. I've updated the BIOS to 1.3 and have run the Windows memory test without error. Which has the same MB/CPU combo and have been experiencing similar problems regarding stability. I upgraded my PC a month ago with this bundle The problem is very random and intermittent. I HAVE NEVER OVERCLOCKED the CPU! The only change to the bios was enabling XMP. When the PC rebooted it displayed an error message about an overclock instability. I was able to reset the PC via the front panel switch. I pressed the switch and nothing happened.

The strangest part was that the on-board motherboard reset wouldn't work. It was as if the power was being tripped as it would die turn on die turn on and then finally booted to a blank screen.

Today the PC froze & rebooted on its own. I reran Memtest86+ and have not been able to replicate the errors or freezing. I ran Memtest86 with all 12 logical cores in parallel for 25 passes with no errors or freezes. I subsequently ran Windows Memory Test for 10 passes with no errors or freezes. Memtest86+ would also freeze during testing. I ran Memtest86+ & it returned 8 errors during the first pass on test 6. I must hard reset at which time it reboots normally. My PC randomly freezes unable to recognize keyboard or mouse inputs. I updated the bios to the latest 1.3 firmware. I have been experiencing system instability. I just finished building my new PC with the following specs:
