So heres whats going on, my PC takes forever to start. I have to keep pressing the power button holding it and hoping that it starts, randomly when it DOES start it gets a "Overclocking failed: press f1 to enter setup to reconfigure your device" or something like that. I don't know if thats the sole problem but yeah. Recently I have randomly started to blue screen of death while doing seemingly nothing, gaming, or any other time it feels like it.
While playing EVE today, the problem worsened, and it just froze. I couldn't do anything CTRL + ALT + DELETE etc nothing was working to close it so I had to restart. Now im back to hoping the PC starts. To give more information about when it doesn't start, I hit the power button, it beeps twice, and then either waits a few seconds, dies down, dies down immediately, or sometimes it starts. Now when it starts I get back to the overclocking error sometimes. When I do start up, sometimes it says "hard drive not found" and I enter bios and I just dont see it. I restart again and there it is, it found it.
I am really not sure what the cause or source of these problems are but they must be interconnected, so if anyone needs more details please let me know.
I have a Sandy Bridges ASUS P8P67 Pro mobo, with an i7 2700k (or is it 2600?) which is factory overclocked. 8 GB DDR3 ram, forget the exact model I can find out if needed...
128gb SSD (OS is on this one) , 1 TB WD hard drive, Geforce GTX 570 video card. Windows 7 64 bit is installed, upgraded from vista.
