game exits to desktop when oc'ed. i've run memtest86. once with stock speeds (cpu and memory). 6 passes, no errors. Then did overclocked speeds (2500+ to 3200+ buy just upping the fsb to 200, memory from 8-3-3-3 to 7-3-3-2.5) and 11 passes with no errors. Motherboard is 400 fsb compatable. Ram is kingston 512 pc3200 cl3 at single channel mode.

It's OK to gradually up Vcore to 1.8x volts. Up your Vdimm too. That's probably your problem.

Prime95 Torture test the whole thing for 12 hours.

ITs your CPU OC I think. I had a prob with BF1942 and C&C: Generals quitting to desktop with my OC. I backed it down just a bit and I was 100% stable. Then I burned in more and the OC was good. :)
