Curious OC problem. I'm running a 1700 with default cooler and the ASRock Taichi mobo, Samsung 960 evo and GTX 1080 TI.
Currently I have the 1700 OC'd to 3.8ghz at 1.37 voltage. Everything seems fine (played games for 2 hours, no instability).
I've been following this guide to OCing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52Tw-wcT7o4
What I find strange is when I start playing with the custom settings, Windows refuses to boot. I get a an error saying "Windows failed to load because the kernel is missing, or corrupt: 0xC00000e9 – File Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe."
At first I thought it was a genuine OS issue and did a repair, but it keeps coming up anytime I play at higher clockspeeds. If I change the bios settings it is totally fine.
Why would CPU overclocking trick Windows into a kernel failure?
