Re: overclocking problems occur

Is this a hand-built computer, custom-built, or store-bought? What are the FULL specs?
Motherboard
CPU
RAM
Power Supply
Graphics card

Was this computer built with overclocking in mind? Does the CPU have a stock fan or an aftermarket cooler? What type of case is it, and how many fans does it have and where?

How exactly are you trying to overclock? What are your settings in BIOS, or if you're using a program to do it, what settings are you using there?

Re: overclocking problems occur

It's a custom-built one and i got intel core i7 920 @2.67 Ghz with a foxconn flaming blade GTI for mthboard and a nvidia Geforce GTX 285 for graphics. Also, I got a brand cooler plus a fan that it was installed with the box. I suppose it supports overclocking 'cause it's only less than 2 months pc.

Re: overclocking problems occur

What's the power supply? To find this out open up the case, the power supply should be the large boxy component with a ton of wires coming from it, the power cord should plug into it. Read the brand and wattage rating off the side and post it here, please.

Was the custom builder an online retailer, local PC shop, you?
