3DMark Vantage crashes my system

Right, now that I'm unbanned (swearing about how terrible LOTRO is >,<) I've been dying ask people whether anyone else has encountered this.

When I run 3DMark Vantage my system crashes when it hits the second test. I downloaded the free trial thing and entered my code. First test went through fine, test 2 caused my machine to shut down. I tried again and it happened again. I then reduced my overclock down from 4.35 to 4.00 GHz to check it wasn't related to that and I underclocked my RAM and loosened the timings a bit to take off any strain there too and still the crash happened. Always at the same point.

I can't find anything else about this on the 3dmark forums so I thought I'd ask here. My system is 10hours+ ORTHOS stable and has been running fine for weeks, with prolonged Crysis, WAR, CoH sessions on a very regular basis, and it doesn't seem to have any troubles with any of that.

Any bright ideas? :confused:
 
It was still OCed...

Go back to stock speeds, update to the latest ATI drivers (Cat 8.10) and try again. Also make sure you have the latest PhysX drivers installed.
