Hi guys,
Well I havn't had any issues with my over clock until right now.
I was in the middle of an epic battle in age of the empires III: Asian dynasty's when the game just crashed(about 50 mins). I got a blue screen of death and it talked about a memory dump of some sort.
It can't be my memory because I'm actually under clocking them. They are suppose to run at 1066 but instead i put the ram multiplier to 2, so they are running 1:1 and only at 800 to keep this overclock stable.
I over clocked my e8400 to 3.6 @ 1.26V core, what should I do to make this more stable? Give it more voltages or should I add voltages to other areas?
I'm using everything i have in my signature.
Thanks!
EDIT:
After running primer 95 it said the following:
[May 19 06:39] Work thread starting

So my 2nd core died that fast! wowsa, I guess this overclock wasn't stable at all.
Any recommendations on how to stabilize this would be great.
It will boot into windows fine, and I was playing games fine until now.
Probably because AOE3 is really CPU intensive when alot of things are on the map at the same time.
Currently my clock settings are, I made the ram 1:1 so its only running at 800
I increased the voltage to 1.26 (anything lower and it would blue screen when windows started or it wouldn't start at all)
Kept everything else the same.
I updated the Bios to the newst version as well (before the update on the BIOS i couldn't even overclock this processor at all)
