Hi there,

The other day I decided to overclock my system. I managed got it to 3.2 ghz so I figure I would keep it at that because of temperature considerations. I was running Prime 95 on it yesterday and it worked great, no errors after an hour. I decided to turn it off and do all my testing today. After I booted up and started running the tests again, Prime 95 detected an error in one of the worker threads, and told me it was a hardware issue. I decided to run memtest (windows version) and at about 90% scanning, I got a bsod.

When its not stress testing, everything else seems fine. Is the problem I am having serious, or can I just sweep it under the rug

The ram that I am using is Cosair CM2X 6400 @ 2.1V -- 400 mhz dual channel
e6400 @ 1.25V -- X8 multiplier -- 400 mhz
 
If it is stable doing everything else you built the computer for, I would not worry. It could simply be that you need a small bump in CPU or memory controller voltage due to your OC.

If you are worried about it being the memory, test it with Memtest. 3-5 passes each and disable Legacy USB Support if it is an ASUS MOBO.
