X9000 oc w/blue screen

when i originally bought my laptop i oced it to 3.2ghz quite easily through the bios , but i never really needed it so i went down to normal clock speed.

since i got gta4 which is apprently a cpu hog i thougt i wud oc again, at 3.0ghz all works fine but as soon as i hit 3.2ghz i get some blue screen saying windows has closed to prevent hardware damage...

how can this be , ive played crysis why my cpu was overclocked, anybody got ideas why this is happening now?

 

dust -> heat -> shutdown.

 

ahhh i guess it needs a cleaning does it ? hmm ill try that, tho its only been 3 months since i cleaned it , ah well

 

Maybe the volate is too low, did you happen to undervolt the CPU?

 

i have no idea how to undervolt , unless some software ,or driver undervolted it , which i doubt

 

well if it truly is cpu intensive, there's your answer, it' snot use to such extensive usage whether it's through voltage or heat

usually if it's heat, i think u'd know right away, ur computer would feel like a friggn oven, so i'm guessing it's probably stability issues

 

like u sed frozen darkness, its probably a stability issue , because the blue screen appears as soon as i try to login to my computer. its not heat because the cpu is oced to 3.0ghz atm and playing games and all the temp never rises over 53-55 during intensive use atm its 36 so going up to 3.2ghz shudnt increase temp that much

but how do u fix this lol XD

 

so with playing games your X9000 does not get hotter than 53-55? What games do you play?

 

all sorts lol crysis to gta4 latest stuff, oh forgot to add i have a laptop base thingy with a fan

 

You mean that you have a laptop cooler? My X9100 reaches temps over 110° if I disable CPU throttling with RMClock after playing a couple of minutes of Enemy Territory Quake Wars :'(

 

over 110 omg !!!!!! lol
