I've had my setup running well for the past several months now (see my signature, will add voltages when I get home), but while playing Dragon Age: Origins, I got a BSOD with the "A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval".

This is the first time I've seen this BSOD and it didn't even happen when I was stress testing using Prime95. Since then, it hasn't happened again while playing Dragon Age, but I was hoping people could give me some advice on tackling this problem if it were to happen again.

So far I have:
1. Cleaned out the dust and checked CPU temps. 40 Celcius idle, 50 under load.
2. Upgraded to latest Nvidia Geforce drivers available.
3. I read this BSOD is related to HT so I upped the Southbridge voltage from normal to +0.1V (1.2V).

Any other setting I should be looking at such as CPU voltages?

Cheers. :)

I've read the FAQ and I'm not sure which rule(s) you think I'm breaking.

P.S. Oh, you mean the 4 lines of text limit I guess. Thanks for pointing that out.

thats the one :)

generally this error is down to vcore or another cpu related voltage, but i've not had one of these in game.

the only time i've encountered them is when i try and run all 3 gpu's together (i.e. crossfireX enabled).
