And also, what OC settings are you using, how did you test them etc I am at 1.14V and 4.4ghz for the haswell i5. Stop code was 0x00000124 I tested with prime95 and IBT. I just re-ran IBT 10 trials using almost all of the ram. Passed fine. I think I'm gonna turn off the OC for now see if it goes away, and redo the OC later. At least I can't damage my gears that way. It's strange to me, since there doesn't seem to be a trigger for when the blue screen happens. The two times it happened I had skype chat and firefox on for both, maybe was during alttabbing or switching windows. Any tips would be great, thanks. | ||

Prime too, i've passed 24 hours @ 4.7, 1.33vcore yet i'm completely unable to stabilize it 100% If you add 0.03vcore for example and dont see any issues, then you can step down slowly. If you were able to pass so much stress testing, you can probably get by with +0.01. 1.14 for 4.4 is also a great voltage, did you check out the scaling on that thing? If you use IBT/Prime with avx on, you'll get ridiculous temps with Haswell. Try Cinebench 11.5 and x264 benchmark 5.0.1. Some chips can get 100mhz for 0.025v, others need a lot more (mine needs ~0.06v..) There's also the fact that you can tune VRIN etc, you should set VRIN LLC extreme and play around with the values. I've seen people using way higher VRIN's on some motherboards (not sure how motherboard could affect it..) but on giga for example i get best results at ~1.85 in the ~1.2-1.25vcore range, less vrin for less vcore, more vrin for more vcore. An OC that would be stable with 1.9vrin can not even boot with 1.7, or vice versa, it makes a massive difference to stability and how much vcore you need. | ||

- The Firefox application itself opens very very quickly. - It's just Firefox that does it. Chrome/IE are fine. - After the initial page loads (takes 5-8 seconds) everything after that is super fast/normal. - It's consistent. - It' been doing it for a long time (probably a year?), but wasn't like that initially. - It does it no matter what page I try to load upon starting it. I don't think I've reinstalled Firefox yet, but I wanted to see if anyone has any ideas before doing so. edit: I've found out MediaHint (addon) is causing it. Not sure what to do though cause I need media hint for Pandora t.t https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/media-hint/reviews/485004/ | ||

If that's your problem, it's probably just a tiny bit too little vcore, especially with 0x0124, it's hard to stress test properly for all loads as i've found for example where i can pass IBT at 4.8 (and definitely game on it) but i cant actually make >4.5 seem to hold up if i throw a lot of extremely varied loads at it for an extended amount of time. I'd probably have 4.7 as a 24/7 overclock, but i'm sitting back on 4.5 for a while because of it. That's a different issue, but point is it's easy to pass a stress test or two, and then fail later, especially if it takes a long time to do it. A random 0x0124 is usually just add 0.01vcore and see if it hits you again i'd say, if you put a little work into stress testing beforehand And Grobyc, i have no idea but you could try using a different DNS (wild guess) | ||

Just a suggestion  | ||

Anyways, I've been reading forums and it turns out many people experience the same problem. One guy said the tech support told him that on hot days, it is possible to experience this because the heat expands the wires or something like that. Is this true? On one hand I'd like it to be true because I can't figure out what is wrong and this came out of nowhere after 4+ years of service, but then again why didn't I experience this the prior summers, and why would any gamer want to live in California if this was true? Anyone else experience this problem? If so, what fixed it? In Cali, I do not believe this at all, we run 110f/45c often here in Phoenix, Arizona, does not affect our connections. Desktop/Laptop? Wireless/Wired? run a "ping -t twitch.tv" and see if the numbers change a lot? I guarantee you it's not because of the heat in Cali. Tell us more about your connection/router/etc. | ||

Tell us more about your connection/router/etc. Desktop, wired of course. I tried pinging a couple sites and they all end up as a long list of "Request timed out" I tried plugging it directly into the modem and still experience lag spikes. The coaxial splits into tv/modem so I took off the tv splitter and straight modem and still lag. My ISP is Comcast and I see on google search that recently alot of people on League of Legends are getting the same problem with Comcast. Should I say fuck this and switch ISP? ![[image loading]](http://www.speedtest.net/result/2841858281.png) | ||

Connect your PC directly to the modem (if not already) and make a traceroute; then ping the first public IP address you see in it (that is not your own).
Also, cables (as in coax cables used for TVs) having issues with temperatures is something I've never heard of. I'm working for a swiss cable ISP, and we have temperatures differences of up to 50 degrees (Celsius) between summer and winter. Temperature has never been an issue for our cables. | ||

The only thing I can come up with is some kind of a short in one of the components that are plugged in or the chassis itself. Any ideas? | ||
