had it running at 3.2 using stock volts,but crashed earlia today,now im trying 2.5 and it doesnt load into windows,it will only run with 2.4.

have i pushed it to far trying 3.2 on stock volts? also getting temps of 55 idle and 79-81 load.

Temps seem to be your problem. When I push my overclock too far - 3.9Ghz and run small tft prime I crash once cpu temps go into the 70's

79-81 at stock speed and volts seems very, very high as well as your idle temps of 55 degrees.

Okay, i'm watercooled but I only go to 55C under load at 3.2 - 3.4 Ghz

Are you running stock cooler or other?

using ac 7 pro,but have a Tuniq Tower 120-LFB CPU Cooler on its way,so going to see if that settles the problem.

perhaps the extreme heat has damaged the cpu? it sounds you have the TIM applied all wrong or something as it should be better than that
