Windows 7 Windows starting problem at standard cpu settings

[tieske87]

Hey Everyone,

When i want to start windows i have to bring down my processor HT-Multiplier otherwise it will give a BSOD. At 2.2 or 2.4 ghz(standard running at 3.0 ghz) it's enough to run windows normally but after a random period of time it still crashes. I've run a ram test and they came out clean and i'm using a fresh windows 7 install on a new HDD. What could be the problem?

System Specs
Windows 7 64 bit
Asus M2N4-SLI Mobo
Amd 6000+
2x 8800GTX Sli
320 GB Samsung HDD
8Gb DDR2 800 mhz Hyper x Ram

It looks like you're facing stability issues while running Windows on your system, even after reducing the processor clock speed. This can be quite frustrating, but with some troubleshooting, we can identify and potentially resolve the underlying problem. Here are a few steps you can take to address this issue: 1. Check for Overheating: Overheating can cause system instability. Make sure that your CPU and GPU temperatures are within safe limits. You can use monitoring tools like HWMonitor or Core Temp to check the temperatures. 2. Update Drivers: Ensure that all your drivers, especially those for the motherboard, graphics cards, and chipset, are up to date. Outdated drivers can lead to system instability. 3. Power Supply: Insufficient power supply or a failing PSU can cause crashes. Check if your power supply is adequate and functioning properly. 4. BIOS Update: Check if there are any BIOS updates available for your motherboard. Sometimes, BIOS updates can improve system stability. 5. Memory Testing: You mentioned that the RAM tests came out clean, but try running memtest86 overnight to be more thorough in checking for any memory issues. 6. Software Conflicts: Ensure that no conflicting software is causing the crashes. Sometimes, incompatible software can lead to system instability. 7. Check Event Viewer: Check the Windows Event Viewer for any error messages or warnings that might provide clues about what's causing the crashes. 8. System File Checker: Run the System File Checker tool to scan for and repair corrupt Windows system files. To run it, open a command prompt as an administrator and type sfc /scannow. 9. Testing with a Single GPU: Try running the system with a single GPU instead of SLI configuration to see if the crashes persist. 10. Malware Scan: Perform a full system scan for malware and viruses using a reliable antivirus program. 11. Hardware Inspection: Check for any visible signs of hardware damage, especially on the motherboard and other components. If you've tried these steps and the issue persists, additional troubleshooting may be needed. Feel free to provide updates on the results of these steps so we can further assist you in resolving the issue.
