Crashed in BF3 while playing. I thought maybe my OC was too high to handle it. So i dialed it way back.

And then it happens again.

Used OCCT with error checking, these are my results.

Any suggestions?

ASUS P8Z77 V LK
i7 3770k stock
8GB RAM
600W PSU
 
That 12 volt reading (7.13) stands out to me right away. Have you checked your power supply?
 
Quick way is to go into the BIOS and check your 12V, 5V, and 3.3V but if it was actually doing 7.14V during stress, you machine wouldn't be running. Software readings of voltages are never really accurate.
 
The voltage looks good in BIOS but the system (PS) really isn't 'loaded' at that point. What's interesting is that the 3.3 volt is spot on in both the BIOS and software, the 5 volt is within 0.04 volts and yet the 12 is skewed horribly. Do you have a voltmeter that you could use to read the actual voltage under various conditions while running? I agree that if the 12 rail(s) were at 7, the system shouldn't even be running.

But I have seen stranger things in my years of dealing with computers. I would probe the 12 volt lines at the card and see how it reads under use.
 
No i don't have a meter unfortunately.

Just played BF for atleast a hour, stock volts and it didnt crash.

This time i was only using one monitor, other time i had the game on one and desktop on the other, i don't know if thats a bad thing.
 
I would get a meter (even a cheap Radio Shack one would be fine) and check your 12 V rails. It just might be a loading problem that only becomes apparent once you cross a certain load threshold.

While software readings are to be suspected they are something that should be confirmed if out of spec.
 
Okay i just did the test again, and i passed for 30 minutes.

I can make it get erros by starting the test, and then moving the window to my 2nd screen.

i did that every time, and just now figured it out.


but my 12v still shows 7
 
I tried furmark and Prime and it stayed the same, don't know how to load it.

Did the PSU test on OCCT and still no change
 
Do NOT TRUST software readings of your voltages.

Your computer would not run, much less boot, at a voltage of +7V on the +12V rail, pure and simple.

I think that's your problem, moving the window could/would cause errors.

I think the PSU test in OCCT only stresses it to the maximum, it doesn't actually test it or anything.
 
Havent had any crashing issues with BF3 since then, moved my clocks to 1030/1575

Very smooth:)

They should put it on their site, dont move window while testing lol
 
Indeed, that's what i'm going to do. Changing screen causes a few frames to be half-rendered, and thus OCCT counts that as errors.

I have a few updates to the FAQ i need to do, i'll include it today.

Thanks for the report !

EDIT : FAQ was updated a few seconds ago.
