1406750	2015-08-16 08:16:00	So i was just playing some arma 2, when all of a sudden my pc bluescreened on me First off the specs of the rig . OS: windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit Mobo: Asus Z97-A CPU: i5 4690K @ 4 . 7GHz PSU: Antec HCP 1000w Platnium Ram: 2*4GB Adata 2400MHz DDR3 HDD 0: WD Black 1TB (OS installed on here) HDD 1: WD Green 2TB GPU: Asus Strix GTX 970 (not overclocked) The WD Black was from my old rig, and had the Windows 7 installed on it, but i reinstalled the OS when i moved to the new Mobo/CPU . So the WD Black is at least 2+ years old, and i have the Asus AI suite 3 to overclock the CPU to 4 . 7GHz, where it's been at that for nearly a year . I rebooted and installed BlueScreenView, it came up with the error file called hal . dll screenshot below 6690 Thanks in advance	GameJunkie (72)
1406751	2015-08-16 09:17:00	The OC may have something to do with it. And ASUS suite is a known cause of crashes Upload the dmp files somewhere. Then post the link. I'll see what else is installed	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1406752	2015-08-16 09:24:00	ah ok. Didnt know about the Asus suite being an issue, interesting. uploaded the dmp file, link to it www.filedropper.com	GameJunkie (72)
1406753	2015-08-16 09:35:00	Could be this. Read the post by NFHSMatrix (battlelog.battlefield.com) But most of the programs mobo manufacturers bring out are crap. And will crash windows ASUS Suite, On/Off, MSI afterburner. The programs that let you charge faster Looks like your Logitech Wingman can cause this 0x9c stop error. The files for it are also old / from 2010 See if theres an update for it	Speedy Gonzales (78)

The files for it are also old / from 2010 See if theres an update for it so the CPU might not be getting enough voltage/too much?? the 4.7GHz OC is at 1.273v i think according to AI Suite Logitech Wingman?? I've got a logitech G27 and a Logitech G500s mouse, I've got the Logitech Profiler, and some logitech software for the mouse	GameJunkie (72)
1406755	2015-08-16 10:03:00	also, i'm fairly certain there's a BIOS update for my mobo, but i'm too chicken to do it unless absolutley necessary, which this might be :D	GameJunkie (72)
1406756	2015-08-16 21:13:00	ASUS mobos are one of the eaiest mobos to update. Just get the BIOS update extract it. Put it on a flash drive. Go into the BIOS go to tools/ez flash, load it. Wait for it to finish its updated	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1406757	2015-08-16 22:29:00	Honestly if you've had 1 bluescreen in a year I wouldn't put too much effort into figuring it out unless it happens again. Even a perfectly good machine with no issues can have the occasional crash. As for the overclocking software, although it seems like it's worked for you this long it'd be better to note down all the settings and apply them in BIOS. And let's be real here, apart from bragging rights and the nice feeling of getting all that "free" performance is clocking your CPU at 4.7 GHz actually achieving anything? I have a Stock 3770 that clocks at 3.4 - 3.9 and when gaming I can monitor the usage generally at less than 50% (20-25% for WoW) and that's paired with a GTX 980. Point is, if you suspect the OC is an issue back it off a bit to 4.5 or less and you will never notice a difference. You probably wouldn't notice it even at stock unless you actually push the CPU to 100% occasionally. I previously had an i5 2500K that I overclocked fairly mildly to 4.0 Ghz, one day I realised that a BIOS update I'd applied 3 months earlier had reset my overclock back to stock speeds and I'd been using the PC ever since without noticing. After that I decided there was no point which is why this build is not using a K series CPU. I understand the desire to overclock, I feel it myself, but unless you are actually needing more performance for something isn't it just stressing out your CPU for no reason?	dugimodo (138)

Truth be told, peeople have said it's better to do the O/C from the UEFI BIOS anyway, i just wanted an instant overclock, and got 4.7GHz on all 4 cores. I might knock it down a couple hundred MHz	GameJunkie (72)
