Stable 24 hrs on p95, then BSOD.

Well I finally got a successful overclock on my Q6600 to 3.0 with a Vcore of 1.2685 and get through 24 hours of prime 95. So i am in an overclocking mood and I overclock my graphics card (4850) and I play me a little mass effect. Well I stopped after a bit, and shut down my system. I come back later and boot it up and 15 seconds after it gets into windows it BSODS. I do this about 3 times. Then set everything back to defaults and it is still doing it. Do i need to reinstall vista? I need some thoughts on this.

I would try to reinstall vista, but what are you using to overclock your video cards?

Well I just used auto tune in CCC to start with and was going to see how much i could push it after that and now i cant get past the welcome screen

When you overclocked it did you set it so it would re-apply your settings everytime windows starts?

If so then thats your problem, the overclock wasnt stable and the video drivers are crashing every time you boot.

try starting in safe mode then reseting the video card overclock

Try that before formating and installing everything again. It could save you 4 hours. Your CPU OC seems to be stable. Get back to your old video card settings.

hmm, Try booting into safemode with your cpu at stock speed/voltage. Then lower your card's OC

if all else fails, reinstall vista
