Ok, I overclocked my mobo and all was well till I tried crysis ( man that game requires a lot ) It was freezing during the intro, menu, etc... so I tried everything to do with software... that wasn't the problem. Then I messed around with my mobo overclock: raised my core voltage, nb, and changed some other things, but now during any game I am playing it will freeze for about 5 seconds..... then play like normal from then on. I have no idea what the deal is, or if it will affect my hardware. Any ideas??? Thanks!
