Core Parking Causing System freezes

[chris635]

Hey guys,

Just some info for ya. Be careful with dis-abling core parking. I was having problems with my system freezing up while I was using online websites to check internet speed that uses flash, and on certain internet games my kids play that use flash. Everything else worked fine, high end games, stress testing etc. After a week of checking for stability on my overclocks (running crazy high voltages for this), I kept having the problem. After more test's, I re-enabled core parking and voila!!! it worked. So anything below 4.3 to 4.4 ghz there were no problems with core parking dis-abled. Anything over that however my system would freeze. On my system with high overclocks dis-abling core parking caused system instability. I hope this can anyone who is having a similar problem.

Chris,

I am a new owner of a Crosshair V Formula-Z. I have been trying to OC my FX-9590 for a few days now and my PC kept freezing up on me after 1.525v or 5.0GHz, even doing such simple things as going on the Fraps website (because of flash video, as you have stated). I have been tearing my hair out over here trying to figure out why this was happening, ripping through BIOS settings and flashing different BIOSes. I have been lurking the ROG forums for a few days now trying to find any info to help me. By luck, I stumbled across this thread you made.

I have re-enabled my core parking (it was disabled from that Windows 7 Bulldozer hotfix) and disabled C6, and it fixed my issue immediately.

I literally made an account here to thank you personally. It may not mean much to you, but your tip has helped me out tremendously. I was getting so frustrated and confused there for a while. Thanks again!

Your welcome. Glad I could help. If you want more control you can try using process lasso. It has a core parking and un parking feature based on what programs you run. I have mine set to unpark while gaming.
