crashes after o/c'ing cpu

[Chris_5689]

I just overclocked my c2d e6600 to 3.6ghz on a p5w dh delux (400x9,vcore:1.4v)
When i try and play games i get blue screens,crashes,and errors.
This happened in two games so far,counter strike source and farcry.
I really don't think its my PSU so im gonna try reinstalling one of my games to see if i get the same errors

All games were installed before the overclocks

Also, my o/s is windows vista business 32 bit

StrangerStranger has a point. But all of that aside...

You've overclocked, but you don't have a stable overclock. This means you need to continue tweaking. You probably don't have enough vcore yet, but it could be any of the settings mentioned in overclock guide. Also, you didn't mention which memory sticks you're using. If you're doing a 1:1 overclock to 3.6ghz on anything lower than ddr2 800 you're overclocking the memory.

Instead of playing a game until you crash, use Orthos (stressprime) and memtest86 to verify stability. It is faster.

aha, someones having a ****** PMS, and thanks for the useless information btw, u would have to be ****** in the head to not know to test for stability after a high overclock and look at ur temps.Stupid b**** thinks he's smart after leaving his little negative statements.

I was going to tell you to take it back a notch or two but I think SS is reading my mind.
