Hard to tell...did you changed your bios settings or something? Try setting to auto then run Prime again...i guess

What does your graphics card have to do with Prime95? P95 doesnt test the GPU. Its just a screen blink while running P95?
Can you provide some more details...
Ok, before i was overclocking my i7 930 at 4 ghz (190x21) with vcore at 1.28 and vtt at 1.3, and when i went to prime to test it and in 5 minutes my screen would blink like 5 times... then i would see and my gtx 260's clocks would be at their lowest.
Now i find that with a vtt of 1.35+ i dont have any more blinking, nor freezes, nothing, for hours, buuut the clocks of my gtx 260 fall yet again >_<
To me, it doesnt make any sense...
BTW, at stock settings i run prime without any errors and w/o any blinking.

Not sure why P95 would causing that blinking. As far as your clocks going down, thats normal as it is going into 2D clocks to save power.
It would be helpful to have your GPU in your signature as well.
My default clocks are 518/1080, it falls to 300/100 >_>

Oh really? xDDD i've never seen that except when i was trying to overclock my gtx 260. So seeing now i was surprised. thanks
BTW, are my vtt voltages at a good point at 1.36?

Well, watch it clock down, then run furmark and watch it pop back up.
Okayy!!!!
i'll do that as soon as i get to windows.

Are you sure that OC is stable for your GPU?

For my gtx 260 you mean? i ran like 10 minutes of furmark without errors but as my gtx 260 is at stock cooler i cant run furmark much more, the temp goes to 95C (but most likely it stabilizes at 95-96C)
