I'm having BSODS which could just be related to the hot weather but i just want to be sure.

Heres the setup

Q6600 G0 was doing 3.6ghz with 1.4V but now not even doing 3.2 ghz. i've had to drop the fsb to 350 now from 400. 400x8 won't boot either but 375x8 will work.
Noctua cooling with 4gb corsair ram and asus p5q dlx.

Should I adjust the GTL reference voltages and PLL voltages?

They are both on auto.

Never leave voltages on Auto when overclocking a CPU, your just heading straight for danger.

Your motherboard is undoubtedly adding more voltage to remain stable but something is either getting to hot or going for over current protection and cutting out.
 
drop back down to stock, then gently ease her up again, it's all you can do, face it, you've lost your oc & it'll cost you more time faffing about than just making a new one. find out what voltages others are using to get a Q6600 to 3.6, i never got mine past 3.4 due to heat issues.

and, remember that it's summer. i usually have a summer and a winter oc profile..
