I have been having similar issues to those I have previously inquired about. My processor was overclocked to 4.2ghz at 1.222 volts, a rather mild overclock compared to other overclocks. The temperatures were alright being in the high 70s under load with high 30s for idle and it passed 30 minutes of both the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility Stress Test along and 30 minutes of Prime95 after. I presumed it should be stable enough at this point to handle some games. I fired up a game and within 20 minutes I suffered from a Blue Screen (WHEA Uncorrectable Error). Is this an error on my part or do I possess a faulty chip? Thank you for your time.

Get some voltage current monitoring software and watch to be sure the voltage is staying around 1.22v. You may want to draw it back to just under 1.2v for better stability. Games vs. Stress tests and benchmark software work very differently than games do, so it may be stable at constant max load, but games tend to spike and sag usage level resulting in constant fluctuation of voltages. Maybe check and see if it happens with the CPU locked at max speed and voltage in games.
