Hey to all, sorry if this type of question was asked several hundred time or it is posted in the wrong section, so forgive me. Other then that, newbie here...
Oh, and Happy New Year to all.
Anyways, I am having this issue where basically when I OC my VGA, my games end up freezing. What happens is that my game (depending on how intensive it is) will lock up after 'X' amount of time. Older game will take longer, while new, more power hungry game can lock my game under 10 minutes to 5.
When they lock up, I can't do anything, my controls even don't respond. I hear a screeching noise in the game (usually the FX) then I only hear the ambient noise, the the only image on my screen is the last Frame in the game. I can't Alt+Tab, Alt+F4 or even Ctrl+Alt+Del out of the game. I MUST restart my PC by pressing the Power Button or pressing the Reset Button.
I have OC'ed my CPU E6750 from 2.6 to 3.2 GHz on stock fans, and it didn't give me any problems. But as soon as I OC my VGA, my games keep on having this issue.
I didn't OC anything else for those wondering.
I have all my information filled out in my Systems Specs. tag.
I would like to know why people are able to OC they VGA to Ultra levels, yet I am not able to even to get it at 600/1100 ratios.
Thanks in advance =D
