thats strange because i monitor my tempratures and none were close to the max limit. hotest was the cpu witch was 72c i no ivy bridge gets hot but that was still within safe limits. can it be over voltage on a component like powersupply or somthing? if so what do i need to look for. i use hardware monitor and asus thermal monitor

i tryd runing the stress test again this time at 4.3 with 1.12 cpu volts. during the test i started gettin graphicl artifacts on my screen my computer became very slow but still responding.my cpu max temp during the test that was reached was around 72 c about 25 mins in and The test lasted for aproximetly 2 hours and 18 mins but insted of a crash my computer just turnd of and i could not turn it on again at first.Tryd switch of power supply waiting a few seconds then turnd it back on again and my pc turnd on again. I understand that this faild but considering the other time i tryd the test at 1.105volts and crashed at 25 mins must meen that im not to far of from finding a stable voltage right? but why did my pc turn of sundly like that..can u tell me what that could meen and if the artifacts on screen is normal when runnign this test. thanks
