Sorry about title, hard to find words tonight???
Ok point of question is!

I raised my Q6600 to 3.6 today booted fine , and so I started intel burn test!

1st time I got a freeze. V-core @ 1.4 (cpu-z reported) not on full load
upped my voltage 1.45
2nd time my screen just went black. as if monitor turned off, excreted a little bodily fluids and returned to bios, where I plonked it back to 3.2

So does this indicate a hole anywhere? i.e voltage or mem or nothing at all?

should I sync my mem or forget that, and just use stock timings, volts and mhz ?
I've read the Oc sticky but as a noob need a few more helpfull pushes in right direction.

I have 2 x 2gb sticks of ocz reaper ram and it is set to the specs on the side,

- pc 8500
- 1066MHz DDR2
- EPP 5-5-5-18 (CAS-TRCD-TRP-TRAS)
- @ 2.125 Volts

CPU CORE = 1.45v Cpu-z reports 1.392 off load and 1.336v on load
SPP = 1.4 volts
MCP = 1.5 volts

nForce spp <-> mcp 1.2v

So full system specs,

4 gb OCZ reaper pc8500 1066mhz ddr2 ram
Q6600 currently at 3.2ghz on above voltages etc
Watercooled CPU
2x 280GTX
EVGA 780i nForce motherboard

yes all I did was raise the FSB up, and tried leaving ram at above settings, when it froze.
And then attempted to sync the ram which lowered the MHZ which was when it just went black!
