Switching GPUs killed CPU OC?

Fleurious · Feb 3, 2012

So I had finally got my CPU stable at 4.5 GHz (few hours of Linx/prime + 18hrs/day of Folding). I was using a 560 TI 448 at the time because it wouldn't fit into my old PC but my 570 would (bleh, should have looked into that before buying the 560 ).

Anyhow, I sold the 560 and put the 570 back in my main rig but now the computer will crash just after logging into windows. I get a BSOD code of 101 which I think typically means add more Vcore. I'm pushing 1.38v already with High LLC and VRMs set to Extreme rather then T.Probe. I'm using a straight multiplier bump to get 45x100 = 4.5Ghz.

Anyone else experience anything like this? It had been running great for two weeks until I did the GPU swap, I uninstalled and reinstalled all the nVidia drivers to be safe.

Using Intel 3930k, Asus X79 Deluxe, 16 GB Corsair at 1600MHz 9,9,9,27/2T.

Hmmm make sure you driver are a clean install from the driver menu. If that doesn't work I would reset the bios and start the OC completely over beginning with the 4.5GHz setting to see if the reset fixed it. Temps and such are ok? BIOS is also the latest right?

The bios is the most recent that Asus lists on their website, temps are great never goes over 55celcius even when folding, I have the cpu under water and a fan blowing directly over the VRMs.

I will try resetting the bios when I get home. Hopefully it is as easy as that.

what power supply are you using?

If everything was working fine before with the same card i'd say it's a driver issue

Fleurious · Feb 3, 2012

After pulling out the 560 and putting the 570 back in I restarted and uninstalled all the nvidia drivers in windows add/remove and restarted. After that I downloaded the newest drivers off nvidia's website and installed those & restarted. Opened GPU-Z and then WoW to make sure the 570 was using the right clocks and the computer crashed.

Restarted the computer and ran folding at home which crashed in under a minute.

did you overclock the pcie bus any, some cards hate this

m1dg3t · Feb 3, 2012

Well it was working fine before switching GFX so i think it's safe to say that you have some remnant's of the old driver's hanging around. Seeing as you are back to your original config. I would try removing everything and using driver sweeper/cleaner or similar program then re-install fresh driver's

Sounds like you're pulling too many amps off of one rail. Try using different PCI-E connectors on the PSU. Also, are you running the 4 pin or 8 pin cable for CPU power?

*Just found this thread with the same PSU and a simiar problem: http://www.overclock.net/t/250803/antec-quattro-850-and-8800gtx-issue-resolved

Eveything was working fine before he tried to switch up GPU's, he only started getting problem's after switching back to his ORIGINAL setup.

Nope, didn't touch the PCIE bus.

What's a good sweeper/cleaner? I'm hoping it's just a driver issue as that can be fixed with a simple reformat if necessary.

I was worried about that when I was running xfire on my 4870s on my last computer using the same model psu so I marked the cables to use to avoid that. Johnny Guru had a good review outlining which cables corresponded to which rail that I looked into when I picked my PSUs. I'm running the 8pin CPU connector.

Heading to my brothers for the weekend to help him put together his new computer, I'll try to check back in to this thread regularly and keep everyone up to date on my problem.

well if you were running more than one card i'd say i've experienced this many times. when you add more than one gpu, sometimes you need higher voltages to stabilize OCs.

sometimes on gigabyte boards, lowering the pcie freq or manually setting it. will help tremendously.

m1dg3t · Feb 3, 2012

He never added any extra GPU's, he just tried to upgrade but couldn't due to size constraint's so he went back to his original setup. It's there in the first post :confused:

Fleurious Google driver cleaner or driver sweeper you'll get what you need, hopefully you get it sorted

Well, I uninstalled everything nvidia again one by one and then ran disk cleanup and deleted all unused files. After reinstalling the newest drivers + nvidia system tools I've been crash free playing games.
