Ok so, I had my AMD 550 BE overclocked to 3.5Ghz to 3.1Ghz with a GA-MA770T-UD3P. Suddenly, Firefox turned blue in a glitchlike way. I x'ed out to see my entire desktop was blue and spazzing. I can't describe the way it looked, but I'll try.
There were lines of that static-like thing with a blue spazzing background. I went to shutdown my computer and as it was shutting down, I BSODed.
When my computer booted again, even the motherboard boot screen was glitched like explained before. Now in the BIOS, I put it back to 3.1Ghz, Restarted, and the motherboard boot screen looked normal.
My windows login screen looked fine, but when i got into windows, it was all fucked up again. I did a dxdiag to see if it was at 3.1Ghz and it was. I shutdown, and now posting on FP. Haven't tried since, I'm kinda scared.
Thanks FP!
It was bluescreening while bluescreening. What.

My desktop was blue, it wasn't the BSOD.
Blue as in, lacking red and green?
Blue, like, blue.
The color blue.
Different shades of blue.
As in no red and green.
Just blue.
Simply, blue.
Your pushing your cpu too far, go easy on the overclocking
You can try programs such as SuperPi/Prime to test its stability.
Sounds like the graphics card tbh.
Yes evidence would point towards the graphics card at this stage, CPU damage normally results in critical errors.
Also, your first time overclocking and was it on stock coolers?
If you BSOD because your CPU is not stable, you are damaging your CPU..
irrc this is because the signal "goes all over" and causes undesired results..and can damage your CPU..
Having a clear signal (in other words a stable overclock) it won't get damaged as easily. :classic_fillmore:

It was, sent it to Sapphire (I have a 1 year guarantee).
The store gave me a 8400 GS for the time being.
Can't find the drivers, check my other thread.
