I have recently overclocked my system (e6600) from 2.4 to 3.0ghz and by a simple arithmetic error i accidentally moved my ram from 800 to 815. I ran ORTHOS for a couple of hours and everything seemed stable and all of the temperatures were ok so i stuck with it. I have started getting some CRC errors on files that I was downloading and ripping from cd's and such, now my question is, is it possible that by accidentally overclocking the RAM (timings were likely way too tight for the frequency to go up at all) that I had made the RAM unstable and therefore was producing the CRC errors from corrupted data? or are these just the delusions of a man who doesnt want to shell out for a new HDD?

Did you lock the PCI and PCI-e bus when OC-ing? Not doing so can corrupt data and cause videocard problems.

yea, thats not the problem. I'm just wondering if that was a possibility, what I was talking about with the RAM OC'ing and being borderline unstable.

Ok, just making sure ;) Besides Orthos have you tried running memtest? If that does not give any errors I'd say the harddrive is starting to go. Maybe chekdisk can pick those up so give that a go also.
