When overclocking at stock or overclocked using prime95 make sure that the Power Options are not set to balanced with the hard drive/system not set to sleep within 25mins :mad::(

Woke up this morning at 6.30am, saw the computer had shut down expecting the worst I hit the power button. It went into sleep mode within 25mins of me going to bed so I had only done a 3hr prime95 instead of 6hr :(
 
LOL Neil, yeah the window power settings are useful for winding things down just for general use, but can be a pain if you forget about them when you want your machine to run full tilt ad infinitum :p
 
I plan on doing prime overnight tonight, probably would have done the same if I hadn't read this ;)

Also, you seem to be planning to sleep only 3 hours per day... I wish I had your stamina :P
