I have a P5N-E SLI board with a 805 Pentium D overclocked to 3.80 ghz and I get these two bluescreens on occasion in some games. In Battlefield 2142 it happens often, in others it happens very rarely or not at all


One of them is Machine Check Exception the other one is IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL

Anyone know if these have to do with the OC or how to solve them? I assumed the IRQ error when I got that had to do with the Soundblaster Card as I heard that this board gives those cards trouble on occasion but since I got these machine check exceptions it makes me wonder.
 
Sounds like OC instability - I have that particular BSOD when I'm overclocked beyond the limit of stability for a particular voltage - so run Orthos for a few hours and see whether it throws errors at you. It'll also give you a chance to see your true load temps.

Saying that, BF2142 is horribly unstable anyway:(
