    PC locks while gaming

    I just took a look at Reliability history and.... here it goes:

    Everyday there's lots of ATKEX_cmd.exe crashes and everyday gives me the "Windows was not properly shut down" error.

    Some days it seems that I get that "Hardware error".

    This hardware error always gives me the same Code, Parameter 1 and 2 and Product id. Parameter 3 differs from day to day.

    I tried to run MemTest86 and it went without any errors. I removed a stick and tried with only one of them which I was using for like 4 years but I got the same results. The BIOS is updated to the latest version too.

    Also I have these settings in my bios, it looks like the default settings tries to OC the cpu:

  3. PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??

    PC Build Steps

    1.1 - Ideally put optical in SATA 0, and SSD in SATA 1, this will cause the optical drive to be the default 1st boot option. You can change it manually if not, but I like it this way
    2.infinity - yes, that's fine. if it's above 70 +/- 5 degrees, then it may just need a repaste/remount
