I overclocked my x2 4400 to 2.4ghz and it seemed stable (4 hours orthos,3dmark06 a few times) but i bought test drive unlimited today and within 10 minutes of playing i get terrible slow down and artifacts(well, big triangles of colour) I set my bios settings to optimized defaults and have just played *** game for about an hour and a half problem free.

Could my cpu overclock have been causing this? I also got a similar problem in *** call of juarez demo, i will try that with my default clocks and see if the problem persists.
 
PCI-E frequency locked? Updated video card drivers? Could be the game itself ya know, especially if using older drivers.
