System Doesn't Shuts Completely After Overclock
Dec 22, 2011
win 7 x64, gigabyte motherboard GA-MA74GMT-S2, AMD PHENOM XII 550 - AMD PHENOM XII B50, DDR3 6 GB RAM, stock cooling, ASUS ati hd5450
I over clocked my cpu from dual core to quad core but even after complete shut down by the window, cpu fan is working, cabinet LED is still on, motherboard LED is on as there is a current.
Which is totaly unusual as everything switches off automaticaly after complete shutdown in normal cpu condition.

So I basically want a new motherboard and CPU. I've settled pretty much on this CPU:
Amazon.com: Intel Core i7 2600K Processor 3.4 Ghz 4 Core LGA 1155 - BX80623I72600K: Electronics
But that expense starts to limit me with regards to motherboard. I essentially want the best possible stuff I can get but I would never dare overclock my stuff.I've looked at the ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z as supposedly being the best motherboard out there... for overclockers.It being so highly rated all around draws me to it, but also hear very great things about various other ASUS types, like ASUS p8Z68 which are basically just as good as the Maximus IV Gene-Z, but without overclocking or some additional features I won't use.
So being that I basically want a computer twice as fast as my ass, what would be a good personalized recommendation for me with regards to motherboards?

from a Pentium D 2.8Ghz, upgraded that to C2D 2.9Ghz. and from a 8600GT xxx edition 256mb ddr3 I updgraded to a 9800gt 1gb ddr3now my PC shuts completely down without errors, warnings, blue screens nothing, just completely shutdowns like if there was a power outage.As per the manual the vid card requieres a psu of min 400W, I have a 680W PSU unit.Computer starts fine, but I noticed that if I try to use something that uses heavy graphics thats when the shutdown occurs., two examples:1. I tried refreshing the windows experience index, and it shuts down right in the middle during a direct 3d ALU test, everytime..2. tried loading BFBC2 and shuts down when trying to enter a multiplaye server.
this leads me to believe it might have something to do with either a faulty PSU unit, or faulty Vid Card (doubts on the latter).As for Drivers I uninstalled and reinstalled everthing twice now and even resintalled Direct X just in case.Although it seems I have the possible problem pinned down I would still like to read your comments and suggestions...maybe I missed something ?[CODE]

I have a custom built computer that i finished almost a year ago then bout 3 months ago, it start shutting down completely while I was playing The Old Republic no Blue Screens. I thought at first since it was just shutting down and not BSODing it was either my GPU or PSU, I have now replaced both with pretty decent upgrades, and booted some games like counter strike source, minecraft, orcs must die, and still happens.

So Windows seems to be very unresponsive, slow, and buggy on my computer I've had for about 3 years now. It's done this the entire time I've had butince school has started it's really pissing me off when I'm trying to get homework done.Anyway, it has a very slow start up process, and during this the taskbar doesn't respond nor does the desktop and other things.Then at random intervals it does exactly this (that isn't my video though). This also happens when I play a game, it just completely stops (and sometimes the sound repeats itself over and over again) and I have to wait until it becomes responsive again.Now this is a problem I've had recently: It doesn't completely shutdown either. When I hit the shut down button and go to bed, I'll wake up in the morning and it still has the blue "Shutting down..." screen. So I have to forcefully shut it down by holding down the power button for 3 seconds.[CODE]

There is only one user on my computer - me. So is it possible to bypass the user system completely or would that require a full re-write of the filing system? Seems to me that I have little if any control over where files are stored. For instance, every time I download a file, it is stored in downloads by default. I then have to fish it out from this directory to save it where I want it saved.

I been backup my system to second internal hard drive E. But the system image file take almost 160 gb that take up too much space. So I want to change to backup my system to an external hard drive. Now even I did delete all backup files in E: drive. But looks like that 160 gb system image still in my E: drive. Because when I check my E: drive properties I still missing 160 gb space so I think that system image still in there somewhere. How can I completely delete that system image to free up that 160 gb space on my hard drive.

My old computer was getting old, so I went ahead and ordered new parts from Newegg. HAF 912 case, GTX 560 Ti, Phenom II x4 975, 8 gigs G.Skill (2 x 4) 1333 DDR3, and a Biostar A880G+ mATX motherboard, and Windows 7 Home Premium OEM (in case). I planned on using the same HDD from my old system in the new one, so I didn't order a new one. Well, I built it, everything went smooth, it POSTed with one beep and the BIOS was fine. However, when I tried to boot from my drive, it would give a System Error screen, with either Repair Computer (or something similar) and Start Windows Normally. If I click Repair Computer, it stays that way for upwards of 30 minutes, not doing a thing. If I start Windows normally, the logo flashes for a second or two and BSoD's real quick, and shuts down before I can even see anything. Then it restarts and goes to the System Error screen. Then, when I take my HDD and put it in my old system, it boots up same as is always does. That's how I'm typing here.
I've also tried changing the boot order so that the Windows 7 disc is first, but it just goes to Set Up, which is, I'm guessing, not what I want to happen.I'm hoping that it's a really simple mistake on my part, and that I messed up on something super easy, because I don't want to have to send back any parts.

I wanted to keep my Win 7 laptop running 7/24, so I selected "Never" under "Put computer to sleep" when plugged in in the Power Options. But the system keeps shutting itself down after idling for a few hours. Why?

I'm having a brand new problem with my machine as of late. I'm freezing all of the time and and when I'm not freezing I am running way too slow. The other interesting issue is that my McAfee software keeps popping up telling me that 'live scanning has been turned off'(automatically) and asks if I want to turn it back on (which I always do). Spybot pulls up the same crap every time

I received a file on chat, which i dint open as the file transfer was cancelled by the sender midway. But since then i have been facing this problem. I have uninstalled messenger and reinstalled it, but still the problem persists. I have even cscanned it for any virus, but there seems to be none.

Logging as administrator, I tried to remove admin password. It wouldn't let me do it and now, when I restart and click on the admin icon to log in, it tells me the system is read only and shuts down. If I run f2, f8, etc. The computer shuts down after 30 seconds or so.

Printer directly connected to the system suddenly stops working and shuts the print spool down? I go to restart the spool, print the test page and BAM! print spool has been stopped. At first thought it was a possible infection but I can't find one. Performed a sys restore and it worked only to have a windows critical update start it all over again.....

We're looking to get one of the following boards:ASRock X79 Extreme 6/GB ASRock X79 Extreme9 ASRock Fatal1ty X79 Professional The first 2 state that their memory standard can go up to an overclocked 2400MHz, the last one an overclocked 2600MHz.Does that mean that if you put 2400MHz memory in, the board can overclock up to that? Or should you buy the highest regular standard supported (1600 in this case) and overclock up to 2400?

About 10 months ago I ordered an HP pavilion on amazon. Without really looking up the specs I would need daily. I'm not a hardcore gamer but I really enjoy playing S4 league and Forsaken World. Well within 4 months I noticed something was wrong with the cooling fan so I kept it for a while as is. Then I sent it to HP for the warranty thing the other day. Another reason I why I decided to send it back for repairs was. The fps went from 62.5 (max fps for that game) and started spiking down to 40ish on s4 league. For the last 10 months it would get hot and loud and such but never affected my fps for anything. So while it's getting fixed I decided to look up ways to improve it. And it seems overclocking is pretty effective. They say it's not safe to overclock a laptop because it'll heat up quicker. What I was wondering was when you over clock it, and let's say the CPU is 2.4GHz and would go up to 3ghz with overclocking. Is it running at 3GHz all the time even during idol stats or simple tasks? Like basically whenever it needs more than 2.4 GHz it'll start using more? And if not then if let's say I take it to class to take notes with or surf the web. It won't heat up because it wouldn't be using 3GHz right? And let's say if I did need 3Ghz, if I use a cooling pad like the Cooler Master NotePal X2 Laptop Cooling Pad with 140mm Blue LED Fan (R9-NBC-4WAK-GP). Would it somehow help cool it down?
I'd like to know if my netbook would be overclock able or not. And if possible how exactly to achieve such an epic achievement? @_@. I'm not sure how exactly to present the specs so I'll provide the link of the laptop if that will help. If it isn't realistic at all I'll understand. I actually plan to invest on an assembled computer in a year or so. That I'll put time to study and get the best parts I can. But between now and then I only have this netbook, so I'd like to get out as much as I can off it within the year.

I'm wondering if anyone has successfully overclocked the ThinkPad T400 running the hybrid ATI Mobility Radeon 3470HD with Windows 7 x64.
I don't need any speculation, I've done a lot of reading and a lot of testing and nothing works properly.
