BSOD while folding, 3 times in one day

[dipzy]

I get that BSOD whenever I try and get my 3930k to anything above 4.2GHz. Tried many things (upping the vcore, upping memory volts, loosening memory timings, maxing out VRM frequencies etc), but still haven't come up with an answer.

Only clue I've ever come up with is that OCCT Linpack drops out at 34 seconds every time. Memory graph clinbs to the top, then as soon as the CPU hits the top, freeze and blue screen.

Also, probably unrelated, but the only thing our rigs have in common is the 120GB Mushkin Chronos. Never managed to do the latest firmware update...

I'm going to try and lower my overclock and see if it makes a difference.

Same here, i still have not managed to update the firmware on my SSD either

Did fresh install and currently been folding for 2 hours, CPU is at 73c and gpu is at 78c.

One thing have noticed, the amount of heat the 460 is dumping back into my case has caused CPU temps to increase from a 69c to 76c. Temps are worrying me now, is replacing the TIM on the GPU worth doing or not since the 400 series cards are knowing for their hot temperatures?

I read about this error today and some have tried updating the bios to the latest version and have got rid of this error. I'll try doing this today or tomorrow.

I've updated the bios to the latest one. Its been just over a week and no BSOD

I had 3 BSOD's yesterday morning on my folding rig. Just as a long shot, I renewed the T.I.M on the XFX 8800GS (as it was hitting around the 75c mark) and it's now around the 65C mark. with the GPU core at 99%. So far so good....and it's been running over 24 hours. Just in case you want to know the T.I.M I used this time was MX4. (I can highly recommend the Arctic Silver Arctic Clean solutions they leave the chip and the heatsink gleaming).

Nice drop on the temps mate

I did the same on my GTX460, replaced the T.I.M with the NH-1 from Noctua and temps are low by at least 9c on full load which is pretty good for a fermi card

I use the Aksa T.I.M clean Citrus based solvent, works pretty good too

Received the same BSOD again today

I read about on the net and found that it could be a defective 2nd core on the CPU, some people replaced their CPU and the problem was solved.

Well, I had that error on my i7-3930k while overclocking, and with me it was the Vdroop that caused it, cause I am running it on Offset-mode. Upping the vcore a bit helped for me. and ofc a clean install of windows once it seemed stable enough.. (happened during my quest for 4.7ghz, but.. alas required too much vcore for 24/7..
