I'm having a strange issue with the rig in my sig. I've been doing some testing, and for whatever reason, I can't OC the 2600k past stock settings without it freezing the video.
I've run 10+ passes of IBT at 4Ghz and 4.2Ghz without it blue screening or locking up. However, I'll be surfing the web at 1.6Ghz on speedstep and it will freeze the video (video card) or display a multi colored flashing screen (IGP) both which require a power cycle to recover. If I leave the CPU at stock 3.4Ghz speeds, it will not give me any issues and will run fine. Memtest86+ has been run for 12 hours and doesn't show any errors on the memory.
I'm a little confused because normally I'll get blue screens if I'm trying for a max OC, but this time I'm getting video freezes. Plus it only freezes at minimal speeds when doing minimal tasks.
