So I've been trying everything to overclock my E8500 but it just won't without encountering the weirdest problem. It boots fine from the overclock it's after that I encounter the problem. First time I thought my harddrive was dying.
Apparently it isn't. It kept crashing and getting blue screens when it was around 3.5GHz. Thought that was pretty odd considering I was still at 32C load and 1.25v. RAM is at a low speed too. Went back into Windows and it said it was my harddrive. Next time I reboot the comp won't go further than POST and freezes at detecting 1 of my drives. The drive that Windows said was crashing.
Makes sense up to this point. Get a new drive right? Well it isn't my drive. The second I lowered the clock back to stock no blue screens or harddrive problems. The drive is detected everytime. As soon as I try to up it again, the drive fails to be detected...
Can someone please tell me WTF is going on?
