So I have a 990X with water cooling, it normally runs at about 4GHz
If I over clock it to 5GHz the computer keeps suddenly restarting itself every 10 minuted :(
anyone know what is the problem?

actually, i restored default settings from the BIOS and same problem keeps happening
it just restarts suddenly
it is similar to the blue screen of death but there is no blue screen
i think i'll just format all drivers and install windows again
do u think the problems in with my hard drives/SSD?

what is a minidumpz?

whaaat? what kind of hardware, it cant be the processor or VGA, so it is either some transistor on the mother board or one of the hard drives.

also, why is there no problem at all in safe mode? but safe mode is boring as hell, no music

fuk, finished trials today ready to play some games and watch a movie and this shiit happened =(

So you tried to over-clock your computer with the intention of making it perform better when it was already performing at a satisfactory level, and now it's dead?

I hope you learnt your lesson :p

My computer has been overclocked for a year! no problems at all at 5GHz with 10 fans and liquid helium (jkz, just coolant) and it was performing extremely well.
For some reason it started restarting every 10 mins so i thought the problems was the overclocking so I restored defaults but the problems remains. I tried to format it and my hard drives died/not being recognised anyways idk wtf is happening with it, will just take it somewhere and get it fixed.
