I've just started playing with overclocking... but I'm amazed that a computer that seems OK can still be a bit screwed up under the hood.
I can boot to Windows and use office apps and play games... and everything "looks" OK... but Prime95 gives hardware errors within a couple minutes of launching "Torture Test -> Custom".
That's telling me that something (memory, CPU, temperature, voltage) is a little off and it's occasionally getting answers like "1 + 1 = 3", right?
Sure enough, backing off on the speeds a bit clears it up.
Curse you Lucas + Lehmer!
