I think I accidentally answered my own thread last time, so I'll try again.

I switched from a stock Dell mobo to an Asrock Pro3 Z75, and my EVGA 660ti 2gb does not react well to any overclocking anymore. I used to be able to bump up the core clock by 100 and the memory by 400 and still be stable, but now even a 30 increase and 175 in the memory causes almost instant crashes in games. I have tried adjusting voltage and power limits, but nothing seems to help. What is going on?

Mobo: Asrock Z75 Pro3
CPU: Intel I7 2600 (non k)
Ram: GSKILL 2x4gb 1300
Video card: EVGA 660TI 2GB
PSU: Rosewill HIVE 600w

Hey did you update you gpu driver in the process?
Some drivers are less resistant to overclocks then the others and tend to crash...

Some drivers are less resistant to overclocks then the others and tend to crash at the slightest of overclocks.(A similar thing once happen to me.)
Try to roll back to the previous driver you were using and see if it helps...
