I didnt really know where the best place to POST this was but I figured this was hopefully close enough.

Anyways what happens is every so often in games or any 3D application I guess you could say the system will act like it locks up, it will freeze for about 5-10 seconds and then just start working again like normal. I'm pretty sure its got something to do with the OCing I'm doing but so far I havent been able to figure out exactly which component is at fault.

Right now my Video Card is clocked at 450/1150, CPU is at 2.62ghz, and RAM is at 250 with 2.5-3-2-11 timings. Thats not to say that this or that is too high... I experience the same problems even with lower speeds on everything... as I said before I'm unable to determine which part is at fault because it seems to do it on all types of configurations. I've tried several different Video Card drivers, currently using 68.81.

Most everything seems to be stable in individual tests. Memtest86+ passes, 3DMark03 will pass but sometimes has the 5 second freeze, Prime95 passes all 3 tests so far up to several hours... I havent had the time to let it run til it crashes.

I just need some suggestions on what it might be and I'll try drastically changing that part or whatever and see what happens.

Edit: I guess I should mention my temps and rails. CPU generally doesnt go over 50C... sometimes 51 or 52. GPU never goes above about 73C. Rails are all above 3.3, 5.00, and 12.00... so I would assume thats all fine and dandy.
 
Put everything back to default (non-OCed) settings and see whether the problem persists.
 
5 second freeze is the nvidia drivers.. lower the core speed by like 30-50 mhtz and see what happens
