Overclocking Crashes?

[MoBsTa]

Whenever i am playing a video game, my computer will either restart randomly or i will get the blue screen showing memory dump.

I overclock my CPU a bit from 1.9 to 2.2 (AMD X2 3600+)
Is it because i need more voltage? (i have it set to default)
Help would be appreciated

System specs:
DFI Infinity M2/G NF570SLI
7600GT EVGA 256MB GFX
2Gb Ram ddr800 Kingston Hyperx and G.Skill
550 Watt Rosewill PSU
80 GB HD Western Digital
AMD Athlon X2 3600+(1.9Ghz)

I'd try a slight bump to the DDR voltage first. With 2 different brands of memory the chances that you have 2 different kinds of ICs in them are fairly likely, and they could need some more voltage to play nicely together. You don't have all that big of an overclock, so CPU or HTT voltage may not be the issue (but would hurt to try if DDR volts don't help).

You are also talking apples and oranges.

Is it a video driver? A game problem? Or a vista/xp problem? We have no way of knowing with such limited informaiton. If you overclock your system, TEST it properly before using it. Run Prime95 for 8 plus hours and THEN you can eliminate the Overclock and move on to other issues such as driver problems. But until you do that, you are just guessing.....
