First i tought it was a virus. Then i found out it happend just after i tried to clock. Iv got a Amd Athlon 64 3700+ and a MSI K8N-D premium (or something). Dosn't matter what i do, still get insane CPU load in Windows. Im noob when it comes to clocking. Does any of you have an ide?

This really sucks, i can't do shit...

btw, the dynamic clocking worked even worse :\

When you open Task Manager, what's showing as eating all the CPU resources?

Thats the strange part.. its all random, and it wasn't like this before i clocked. Also take some time to get into windows...

I know its not a virus. because its unstabile. And the CPU is warmer than normal too..

increase in temperature in overclocked components is unfortunately the downside of overclocking resulting in unstability of your system.

Solution - upgrade your cooling solutions (CPU fans, GPU fans, install additional case fans, use better thermal paste between CPU/GPU and fan etc.)

Some components cannot take overclocking at all (usually cheaper components).

Yeah, i found out what it was. It was the Neo voltage (Bios i think) Anyway, it was on 1.50, then changed it to 1.60. and clocked from 2200ghz - 2650ghz. iv heard its a very clockable CPU. Got great FPS in games, but got problems with the gfx, flashing random colors ingame and such. Changed back to 2550ghz, works like hell. Wont bother buying water cooler or anything ^^
