I been running my 1100T CPU at 4gigs for a year Is it burnt out? I tried to overclock it But now it just blue screens now. I have a crap Biostar Ta990fxe motherboard that i never liked because the components are so close they will heat up you GPU's.

I have a corsair TX850M powersource And i thought it was the problem But after i removed one GPU the same problem happened. My C drive is reporting errors on windows but im not sure if that will stop my PC from blue sceening because i tried to overclock from the motherboard as well and it still crashed. So i wonder if its just my crap biostar motherboard is the issue? The cpu works fine at stock.

Any help will be appreciated.

overclocking does have an adverse affect on service life

i run my cpu at stock and my video card at sock too

Meh, I ran my 1090T OC'd since I've owned it (4/2010).  I either was running it at 4-4.2GHz on water cooling in the summer or at 4.6GHz on my phase change cooler in the winter.  I retired it to my back up rig and now it is taking it easy running at 3.7GHz on an aftermarket air cooler.  Sounds to me like your OS got corrupted and you need to reinstall it, it happens and actually is not a bad idea to do every so often just to keep things fresh and running smooth.

I'm not all to familiar with BIOSTAR's products but they seem a little on the cheap side so if after trying a fresh OS install if that does fix it I would say that your motherboard is probably the culprit.  Not sure how many phase VRM set up it has but I'm willing to bet that it not quality and therefore probably not delivering clean power to your CPU and RAM.

Other things to look at would be your CPU core temps?  When was the last time that you replaced the thermal grease on your CPU?  Are you using the stock CPU cooler that comes with the CPU.....please say no!  Never OC a CPU using the stock CPU cooler....it is not designed for OC'ing and can cause you issues.

Overclocking, unless you really pile on the voltage, will not measurably decrease the life of a chip if done on a quality motherboard with multiple phase (common is 8+3) VRMs, which I agree with Canis on is most likely not present on your board. Although some things which you NEED to do when overclocking are to replace the stock HSF and TIM with aftermarket (preferably liquid) cooling and higher quality silver or diamond based TIM, and enable ECC on the CPU caches.

might be an idea to retire the Biostar board in favor of a better one.

i use asus and i have been very happy with the quality and durability of their system boards

i know they cost more, but you get what you pay for.

No i have a H 60 water cooler the tems always stay about 47c maybe get up to 51c on load thats it.

Thanks for the help guys i never liked this biostar motherboard. I just got in a new 1T hard drive i meant to upgrade anyway i will change it out then the motherboard has to go as well.
