I have an Opteron 165, and the ASRock 939Dual motherboard. I am using the OCWorkshop Beta Bios 1 to enable above 275 FSB speeds stably. And am using the Zalman CNPS7700-Cu Heatsink with 2GB of Ram (mixed types (2x512 PNY Value DDR400) and (1x1GB PC4000 OCZ Gold Edition)). I am using very relaxed timings (the stuff reqired by the 512MB sticks and easily supported by the OCZ stuff. Anyway my question is why does my computer reboot or crash when I am playing at game when overclocking to 2.6 GHz (289x9). I would have no question in my mind about this other than the fact i can Prime95 for 6 hours streight on both cores without any problems or temp issues above 53C at 1.4V. I have turned the OC down to 2.3Ghz and turned off Automatic reboots in winXP for errors (So I'll get a BSOD if the problem happens). I suspect its the memory and am currently getting money to buy a 2nd One GB stick of OCZ ram.
 
I have had an over-clocked cpu, that could do 12hrs prime95 stable on both cores, crash in games. 24hrs prime95 stable is the only way to be truly sure.
 
Alright, though you would think that Prime95 for 6 hours is more demanding than half an hour of gaming, even more so on Dual core where the game only uses 1 core.
