Good evening mates,
I oced my rig as in description/signature 3 month ago and two weeks ago, suddenly I got a blue screen and after I wasn't able to run FAH or Prime with the same settings (crashed after some minutes). Also after a cold boot got a lot of blue screens and a lot of programs didn't run properly.
First I thought it was a software/driver issue, so I formatted both my HDDs and made an RAID0 array. Installed the Win7, all drivers and software again. Tried to use the same oc settings but didn't succeed. I tried to reduce the freq but let the Vcore the same. First I set the freq to 4.0, couldn't run Prime for longer as 20min. Then I reduced the freq to 3.8 and set the Vcore to 1.45v, but still the same issue. Prime doesn't run longer than 2 hours without errors. Then I started to oc from beginning/stock. But couldn't find any Vcore setting for stable (Prime) oc. Got always (no matter after what time) errors like rounding error (got x, expected y..). Yesterday I just set the settings on stock (except my memory, it's on XMP profile) and let the ASUS Auto Tuning software to oc my rig (Extreme). So now I have 3.847Ghz @1.4v Vcore. The software increased only fsb. When I run prime, it takes 4-5 hours for first (rounding) error. (I also played some games while prime was on, but I don't think it's a trouble.)
My question now is, are there any oc which "survive" the Prime test without errors? (longer than 4hrs) Because when I oced before, I only waited one hour for for Prime and when I didn't get any errors, I increased the multiplier or decreased the Vcore. When I got an error within the one hour. I increased the Vcore. So at last when I found a stable Vcore & clock (it was 4118Ghz) I just added 2x0.00625v (increase the Vcore by two times) in order to run FAH properly. (Vcore was @1.5125v)
Now I don't know if it's necessary to let the prime run so long in order to know that I won't get blue screens or freezing while FAH.
Any Ideas why that happened?
Best regards,
FA
P.S.: Now I have the following settings: Clock: 3847Mhz (213*18); Vcore: 1.4v; CPU/NB Vcore: 1.3v; rest: Auto
I also run FAH now and we'll see how long the rig can fold.

Thank you for fast replies. At least I have something where I can start ^^
First of all, I doubt the PSU may cause that issue, because I use my both GPUs @920Mhz without problems while gaming. I think if my PSU had any issue on power, I would have problems to play games. I also checked my RAM with memtest86+ for some hours. Nevertheless I use your advise NemesisChild and test them with HyperPi and I also have MaxxPi to check the RAM etc.
@HiVizMan yeah I was folding 24/7 (and I hope to do that further) and I actually reinstalled my CPU because a friend of mine wanted to check his mobo. When I installed it back, the BIOS asked me to apply BIOS settings (like the first time, when installing a CPU). Now I wait till I get a BC (if I get one, if my oc is unstable) because of FAH and then I reflash the BIOS. Here I also doubt the issue with my fans and the cooling system. I monitor and log my temps permanently and they were quite good as always. ^^
Thank you guys for getting me on the start line, I'll tell you how the FAH went tonight and the results of testing etc.

Seems legit. I also had some BC with bad_pool_header, ntfs_file_system etc, caused by ntfs.sys while booting the OS.
But during the time in Windows, I don't have any issues....
Now I'm folding for 17 hrs and I don't know why I can't run Prime that long... I'll get new Prime 95 and try again.
A also have run HyperPi and MaxxPi2 etc. No errors. Maybe it really was something with BIOS? I downloaded Prime95 and check that issue again. Then I reflash my BIOS.

So after 17 hours of folding I run Prime and I got the first (rounding) errors after 20min. Then I reflashed the BIOS and let the setting on stock, except my RAM (XMP 1600Mhz Profile). Now the Prime is running for 5 hours and I let it run 20-24 hours to check if any errors appear. Another interesting thing is this:
Sometimes I also get warning messages from AI Suite, it says the temp or voltage of anything is too high or also too low. when I want to check that out, they are already normal. But this "issue" I have since I purchased that mobo, so I don't think it's anything serious.
If Prime will work fine for 24 hrs, I let the TurboV oc the rig automatically and test prime again. Maybe the flash solved that issue with unstable (Prime) oc.
