Hey guys, i overclocked my AMD Phenom processor to 3GHz, then ran a Prime 95 torture test for 12 hours, no errors or warnings. but sometimes my computer gives me a BSOD when im just browsing the internet or something. What the hell have i done wrong??

What test did you run, small fft? You wanna run blend for overall system stability.

or memtest to check whether memory is fine...
does prime stress the Hyper transport link as well?

take note of the details of the bsod details and google it.usually bsod will provide some numbers/letters in the lower center of the screen try to google that.

Ive ran both the small FFT test and the blend one for hours, both were fine. Ill download memtest and give that a shot as well. Yeah the BSOD is definately down to the overclock so i dont know whats up

Ok its getting more confusing, im able to run 3dmark06 and vantage when its at 3GHz but when i start the computer up sometimes it wont get past the vista loading screen...
