Overclocked

I haven't run coretemp on my machine for about 3 weeks and formatted about one week ago. I got my Q6600 OCed to 3ghz and 9 hours prime (before those 3 weeks) so I was pretty sure I had a good stable overclock with my temps never going above 56-57 on cores. So I was just wondering about my temps and redownloaded coretemp and ran it for a bit. About 15min later, my computer hard locks up with sound looping and no mouse/keyboard input being recognized. This has happened before when I was working on my overclock and running coretemp. At that time, I thought it was my overclock that was unstable, but now has led me to think it is coretemp. I mean what are the chances of me running demanding games for 3 weeks no problem and then me just browsing the internet with winamp going + coretemp suddenly causes my computer to die.

What do you all think?
 
i doubt its core temp i had orthos failed me after 13hrs before and even 24hrs and everything else was running fine before then
