Hey guys, I have a 2500+barton OC'ed to 182x11=2006mhz. My vcore is 1.70 and I restart every other time or so I run 3dMark, usually during the cpu test. My temperatures are a little high, idle at 42 load at 60 (probably due to my sff). I don't see how I can be restarting every other time I run 3Dmark03. My vcore is pretty appropriate for my OC, right? I'm pretty sure its not a memory issue, because i have pc3200 thats handled 220fsb before.

Do you think a bump to 1.73V will help?

Im using MSI nforce2.
 
The difference between your load and idle temps is too great. Try reseating your CPU HSF and making sure that you are not using a TIM pad. Use some of that silver or white thermal goo. Also, i bet you dont have a mobile CPU do you? My standard Barton would only do 2.0GHz stabe but the mobile gained me 400MHz. My system is stable up to 45C but usually wont get that hot.
