While running 3dmark06 I got the BSOD!! My system is OC'd to 2.9ghz. Could there be an issue with my voltages? I am stable with prime95 and TAT running at full load. I did have my PCIE frequency at 90 instead of 100 if that could do it. I have been playing the crysis demo and it ran beautifully so I don't know what the heck is going on. It happened twice.

Thanks in advance for any help.

1) How long can you run Prime for? Have you tried to run it 24 hours?

2) do you blue screen with defualt settings (no OC)?

Isn't 2.9 a REALLY conservative overclock for an e6600? Prime95 is mainly a CPU/RAM tester and 3DMark06 is a CPU/GPU tester... so is there a chance your GPU is having problems? Perhaps your PSU isn't feeding your GPU enough? I know you mentioned you were playing Crysis, but I imagine that's less of a burden than 3DMark06. Crysis would be really demanding then less demanding... where as 3DMark06 would be punishing your GPU pretty much non-stop.

I did run 3dmark before my OC and wanted to see how it does now. I'll try it again as I was having another issue with my machine which seems to have worked itself out with a hard boot.
