Have you ran P95 on both cores for 8+hours with stability?

yup ran it for 10 hours while at work. i have also run setie at home for a lot long periods of time to. i have also ran the memtes for almost 9 hours to to make sure the ram was ok when i got it. i thought it may have been my video card so i placed the cpu back to stock setings and kept the card OC everything was stable. on a side note could be be because i do not run the memory at 1.1 ratio???

Hmmm, are you getting blue screen crashes? im just asking because I had a similar issue with BF2 and it ended up being that my memory's case latency was too tight for the overclock on the memory.

I ran memtest 86 to confirm this as an error came up in about 2 minutes of testing. I backed my case latency down to 3 from 2.5 and ran memtest again, it was solid that time and no more crashes with BF2.

Try running memtest 86 for a couple of hours. If your ram is flakey it will probably error out within minutes.

He already ran memtest, I read in tweak guides that for some reason BF2 does not always run right with OC'ing, he did not really give a reason why but it says it in the BF2 Tweak guide....i dunnohave you tried maybe clocking down to say 3.3ghz or so and see if it does the same thing?

BF2 is always buggy my man. What video card/drivers and audio card/drivers do you have? BF2 HATES not having all the latest drivers. Also, I found that NVidia's Beta drivers make it unstable too...So I went back to the normal drivers and its better now.
For example...when I play BF2 for the first time of the day, after about 10 min of gameplay it'll do the same thing. Bluescreen, crash, or go back to desktop. If I restart my comp after the crash and play, I never have the problem for the rest of the day. It's very, very odd. But that's what happens for me.
All I can suggest it make sure you have all the latest drivers, defrag your hdd, make sure you have the latest BF2 patch (1.4). Even maybe reinstall it, I had to do that once as well.

You know this might sound a bit crazy but I do remember having another problem with BF2 related to an overclocked system. What I did was reinstall the game with my system already overclocked to how I wanted it and everything was fine!

I had the same problem with Oblivion and after reinstalling it with my system set like I wanted it the problem went away.


Its worth a try.

With any of my OC's BF2 finds a reason to screw me over. Usually it finds a way to detect a memory error and kicks me from the server saying I am cheating ooooooh

Damn fun game.

Sounds like stupid punkbuster. Kicking the non cheaters and not detecting the actual cheaters. :roll:

I got so pissed with that game last night, I was hidden in a sniping tower on the wake Island map and had been doing really well. All of a sudden as im laying there completely out of sight btw I suddenly croak and it tells me who killed me but it doesnt show what weapon was used to kill me???!!! It also just happens to be the same guy that I sniped about 5 times, guess some people are just sore losers.

I called the guy out and he just laughed at me and wouldnt tell me wtf it was that he did.

Hah! Sucker! :P Just kidding, but that happened to me in Half Life 2: Deathmatch. I had a "Monster Kill" then died, respawned and proceeded to my one and only, the rare "Holy Shit" (luckily got a screenshot) and the admin booted me. He said I was "camping" when I only use GravGun/Grenade/Stunstick lol. It was pretty lame, but a proud moment in a way.

To OP: I have had BF2 problems also, it is just a buggy game, all my friends crash often. Some older video drivers seem to be better, but that is all experiment and time if you want to try it.

Remember if you Overclock to give this method a shot. I fixed all my problems with certain games.

I got my machine to OC 3.8Ghz stable on Prime95 and CPUBurn (all night running 2 instances) then played a game (oblivion) and it rebooted.
I found a good test Intel Thermal Analisys Tool(TAT)
when running TAT I start the workload test it reboots in 5 min.
Clocking it down to 3.6Ghz it runs stable. no crashes in games.
that might be a good test for you to try and run.

It won't answer as to why it isn't stable but at least you will know it is stable or not.
