Computer doesn't wake up properly when overclocked

[misterbeam]

Hello,

Since i've updated my bios, i started having an issue with my overclocked computer when i try to wake it up after a couple of hours or more. Sometimes the screen stays black, and sometimes some graphical artifacts appear.

This happens only when i put it in standby, normal rebooting is fine and removing the overclocking solves the problem too.

Any idea what could be causing this? i guess it has something to do with the RAM.

Thanks,

Unable to wake up properly is a symptom of an unstable overclock. A lot of changes are made from one BIOS to another. Most probably your previous stable settings won't work as well with a different revision.

Thanks Chino,

You were right 🙂 So what now ? on each bios update with "improved stability" changelog means that we have to add more voltage ? i am right now at 4.6@1.38V which seems a bit too high to me, i will try to get it down to 1.37 later, but 1.36V is not passing anymore :confused:

It can go either way. Some users get better results, some don't. If your previous BIOS was stable, you can flashback to that revision.
