I'm having an issue with my overclocking. Things will work for maybe 45 minutes and then I'll get the BSOD. I'm very much a novice at this. I'm just wondering what I can do to make my OC more stable? Or perhaps what would be the most ideal settings in my BIOS for the hardware I have? The heatsink is stock but I've never had a major overheating issue. I've recently replaced the thermal paste with arctic silver. And I have 8 Gb of corsair RAM. I got it to overclock to 3.2 Ghz from 2.6 for about 40 minutes. And the heat was reasonable for the games I was playing. Could my voltage be off? Or is my RAM causing all this to happen? This is my 1st time posting on this site so please by gentle ^_^"
