Updated my boards bios just after Christmas since the PBO2 bios was out. I had disabled sleep so I could always have it run Prime95 all day long while I found my OC for each core. So it never went to sleep for about 2 weeks. About a week ago I re-enabled sleep. After 3 days of it locking up when trying to wake from sleep I knew something was up.
I see my bios was pulled from Asus' site and there are 2 new bioses out. So I try the newest. Been 4 days and not a single issue w/ sleep.
Then today I decide to go in to my bios as I wanted to ever so slightly raise my current limits for PBO. Notice immediately that the bios seems laggy. I increase them by 10 anyways. Get back to Windows and my audio is stuttering. Try cinabench, score is 50% lower, and HWinfo shows dozens of WHEA errors. Try a CMOS reset and reapply profile. Same issues. Check event viewer and its showing
Code:
Reported by component: Processor Core
Error Source: Unknown Error Source
Error Type: Bus/Interconnect Error
Google tells me its FCLK instability. I've done hundreds of hours of stressing memory, Prime95, and at least 300 hours of gaming on this setup @ those clocks. Internet also tells me this version of AGESA was supposed to increase fclk overclocking. Yet mine is now completely unstable.
