I am having stability issues as well as:

"Sometimes randomly after few hours of running when the system is at desktop and has no big computing to do the screeen goes black for few secounds and the computer informs me that the driver has recovered from somekind of error.

The windows does not let me fix it from windows but one time it gave this additional information:

Can you specify what is going on? And Could I have rechieved faulty parts?
I have newest drivers for saphire card and I did install everything that came with the motherboard but was that actually mistake since I run win 7?

The problem might be about this:

But I can't really pursue this since I can't for example change bios without possibly harming my overclock?"

I am running win 7 64bit.

btw. What kind of 3d vantage scores should I get?
 
There are umpteen possible causes.In the first instance I would drop the overclock and return the CPU to stock. If you are concerned about your overclock, just make note of the bios settings.

I kinda figured that....where should I start. I want to go with this setup if it is workable. I dont like to return fully working equipment because of my own fukups....
 
I have no experieince of that board, but in short, look for the appropriate area to FSB, multiplier, CPU voltage etc.... and roughly speaking anything set to manual, flick it back to auto. (After making a note of course)
