I've gone from 2,601(289x9, 236, 5/6, 2-3-3-5) to 2,530(230x11, 230, 1:1, 2-3-3-5) in four stages, after crashing a couple times. It crashed at each increment down to where I am now. Not right away, but I'll use it for 2-3 weeks, and then it'll just crash. At the last setting, I've crashed twice in the last 3 days. I don't think my OC is causing this problem. These settings did 24 hrs on Prime95. It usually happens when I have several apps open and video. What could be causing this problem? I set it to not restart, so I could look at the blue screen, but not sure what I am looking for in there.
thanks for any help

Error or stop numbers. Google the number, it should point you in the right direction.

I've got all the numbers, there are 8 sets of them, w/ one that changed to a different one, the second time I recorded it. The first set of numbers I punched into google and was directed to a microsoft web page, the only thing is it referred to 32 bit Windows and SP1, whereas I have x64. The second number got no results in google, and the third one I ran, one of the sites that came up was an x64 web forum where they were talking about it(no resolution though). Is that normally how this works? Do I follow the instructions for the first one even though it says for XP 32 bit? What about the one that produces no search results?
 
You said you were Prime stable but are you Memtest error free ?

A sight error in your memory may only show up under load and could be causeing the crashes.
Plus if your getting different stop codes each crash then unless they point towards the same type of driver error I would start looking at Memory, Voltages, Temps, etc to check the basic hardware before looking at software.

Luck ............ :D
 
When you 1st oc your rig it will jump in temp..but leaving it there is going to increase the entire system temp over time. Is it next to a heat vent? Really sounds like heat or a PSU issue. But with the multiple app issue...hmm..maybe mem, too. Shitty thing about having probs with an OC.

I tested the settings with memtest as well, very stable.

The temps stay surprisingly cool, the cpu doesn't go over 44 under load. The gpu can get hot, but shouldn't affect it.
