Question / Help New crashes?

[Garebear]

I just started having crashes, never crashed before in the past year and a half of using OBS, is there anything here that indicates what's happening?

 

[Harold]

Those crashes are consistent with unstable overclock or failing hardware.

 

[Garebear]

Anything specific? I turned off cooling and throttling features for my CPU but after the temps hit 75 and I had a crash I turned them back on and noticed the temps are still high, so could it be a cooling issue?

 

[Harold]

Generally CPU or RAM. Did you turn the overclocking settings back to stock (if you had them overclocked)?

 

[Garebear]

Would be a bit strange for the RAM to go bad with the CPU settings being altered, but I'll run RAMtest. I believe I did, I'll double check, but I coincidentally altered these settings as we saw a heatwave and it's an older CPU, three years now. Dusted thoroughly and cleaned the heatsink and CPU and reapplied AS5 which needs to cure.

If I have been running it that hot for almost three years without knowing it I may have done in the CPU, that could be it?

 

[Harold]

It's certainly possible. I'd say turn off the overclocks though.

 

[Garebear]

Oh no, it's stock, I've never overclocked it.
