Trying to run my E4400 at 2.2ghz with stock cooling and voltage. It's stable in games and can do orthos for a few hours with no problems (haven't tried longer) but when I put the computer into standby, on resuming from standby it usually hangs and even if it does get into Windows it gives me a "program failed to initialize" when I actually try to do anything. TAT says I'm running at 60 Celsius at full load, so it's not a heat issue.
 
I had a lot of problems originally with my P5B coming out of Stand By mode but it turned out to be a problem with the memory. Once that was replaced it has worked great ever since.

Lots of motherboards work fine at default MHz but when you start overclocking Stand By mode working properly is never guaranteed.
 
Fixed it by running the memory synchronously, plus changing the timings from the wonky automatic settings to the proper timings specified by the manufacturer.
