S ssjgoku24 Baseband Member Messages 57 Oct 12, 2006 #1 Ok what exactly is unstable? Is it when your computer restarts by itself? Is it when you get a blue screen error? Is it when your computer Freezes? Right now my computer only restarts I don't know if it is a protection thing or unstable thing. Thanks

OP OP S ssjgoku24 Baseband Member Messages 57 Oct 12, 2006 #3 so restarting is not part of the stability thing then
V vipercrazed In Runtime Messages 326 Oct 12, 2006 #4 unstable can mean failing in prime95 and spuerpi also.... but blue screens are what you prevent with those tests

Memtest86 you can use to tell if your RAM is bad, and the others tell you if your OC is unstable. You may need to use a DMM to test PSU Stability.
