A little question as my PeeCee is behaving oddly. Recently upgraded and went with a ASUS sli prem, and AMD 3700 cpu with a freezer pro stuck on top. Overclocked it to 2.7ghz quite happily and was getting about42 degrees heat under load.
It was prime 95 stable for about 12 hours (longest I was able to run the test - but did this a few times and never got an error).
Played oblivion happily and did a fare bit of benching with 3d mark 05 and 06.
Anyway, tried the HMM 5 demo and it crashed every 5 minutes (literally) and Dawn of War was also crashing (which it had never done before). tried changing drivers from omega 6.3's to cat's then the cat 6.4s to no avail.
Then I put the cpu back at stop and all of a sudden crashes stopped. the problem is I don't know how far I can clock cos Prime 95 thinks it's fine at 2.7, and even oblivion seems happy at that speed, whereas DoW and HMM5 can't stand it. All sounds a bit odd to me, I'm confused. Help?
