Yeah for somereason I cant start my computer sometimes. It shows that it cant load windows or it cand find a boot disk. Then when i do get it on i sometimes get it to crash. Then i get a blue screen with some text on it. not even enough time to read it. And then it restarts. I was getting this everytime i would upload stuff onto a server. And just now i had my speakers on and after the blue screen thing it told me that my system failed due to a overclocking issue. What should i do. I just built this computer and I dont want it to not work. (some one told me it could be my SATA hard drive).
 
1. Stop overclocking (including memory timings)
2. Consider downclocking
3. Do a memory test via Memtes86 :)
 
I would if i could

I would do that but i dont know how. And i never made it overclock is it like that from default. I just made this system like a few weeks ago. I dont even know anything about bios or overclocking. Never did it on the computer is it possible it is overclocking by itsself or is it something else??
 
To rule out overclocking, pop into the BIOS and reset it to failsafe defaults :) Also, what hardware is involved?
 
I will try

AMD Athlon 64 3400+
ASUS K8N-E Deluxw nf3 MB
PQI Power 1GB DDR PC3200
HD 250GB/WD 7200RPM 8MB SATA
XFX/GF 6600 GT 128MB

Thats the jist of it. I have a dvd burner and a cd burner and a external 250GB HD.
 
My computer says it can find the boot disk when I have a usb key in it when it is turned on. If anything with storage is plugged into the computer it might try to boot from it.

I think that XFX pro overclocks their cards. Are there any weird screen artifacts before the computer crashes?
 
does it reboot after it crashes? if so you can set it to where it does not reboot, and then you will get the blue screen of death, but then you can search for what it tells you, and hopefully that will at least give you a place to start.

you can set it to not reboot on system failure by right clicking my computer, advanced, startup and recovery, then uncheck "automatically reboot" under system failure.

mine kept restarting on its own, and i finally found out it was mouse drivers...go figure.
