So i've had this cpu for about 3 years and every time i've tried to overclock it doesn't stay stable long at all, even with a modest OC of only 300mhz more. I've been ignoring and and just figured maybe a board issue... but then today i decided to enable the feature that allows the igp and my gtx970 to be used at the same time to that i can try out intel's quicksync for videos. Well it turns out as soon as windows goes to load the drivers i get a blue screen. so now i'm starting to wonder if there's something wrong with the cpu. can't use the igp and it won't overclock at all.
Bad cpu? even tho it runs fine at stock and with the igp turned off?
