Okay, its a 2.8 northie...
I am starting to have that sinking feeling...
Its never been above 1.6V
It is game/folding stable up to 3.4GHZ, and has seen 3.7GHZ
last week or so i havnt bothered to O/C it, so it has been running at stock speeds, voltages - at full load...
tried to O/C yesterday, i just hit my preset in AI booster for 3.0GHZ, - a nice mild day-to-day overclock, no extra voltage or tricks needed and -
BANG!!!
BSOD... okay, reboot, back to stock...
this morning, try to tick up the external frequency manually with aibooster- just 10 more ticks a second - being 210 - ( see sig for rig stats)
BANG!!!
BSOD again...
i thought it was an old NIC i stuck in there yesterday,
but I allways run locked at 66.6/33.3 - just for good measure i pulled it -
windows boots -
and i see the worse thing ever. the OCA recovery screen said this:
"Hardware Failure: Contact Original Equipment Manufacturer
Thank you for submitting an error report. The error was likely caused by:
A hardware failure reported by your Central Processing Unit (CPU)
This behavior occured because your computer processor detected an unrecoverable hardware error and reported it to Windows. For more information, contact the manufacturer of your computer.

1. should i fear the worst?
2. should i O/C anymore?
3. should i pray it holds till summer and get a faster northwood?
[Edit: just tried to O/C again, no joy - another BSOD- Same OCA error]
