Overclocking Dilemma with the G3258
I have been having similar issues to those I have previously inquired about. My processor was overclocked to 4.2ghz at 1.222 volts, a rather mild overclock compared to other overclocks. The temperatures were alright being in the high 70s under load with high 30s for idle and it passed 30 minutes of both the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility Stress Test along and 30 minutes of Prime95 after. I presumed it should be stable enough at this point to handle some games. I fired up a game and within 20 minutes I suffered from a Blue Screen (WHEA Uncorrectable Error). Is this an error on my part or do I possess a faulty chip? Thank you for your time.

Thank you for the suggestion. I attempted the overclock with a lower RAM speed, but it still failed after about 30 minutes of gaming. Any other ideas?
