I recently just purchased the arctic silver 5 compound, Then I take off my heat sink and apply the compound to the heatspreader. I applyed a straight line in the middle like the manual told me to. Then when i turn my computer on everything is fine except one problem. Before i did any of this i had my cpu oc'ed to 2.6ghz, now i can't even keep it stable at 2.18. I oced my cpu to 2.18ghz (311mhz), it loads up fine and everything , when i play FEAR or even download anything my pc crashes and everything locks up. So i have to put my cpu back to stock which is 1.86ghz (266mhz). So now i completely regret messing with anything. Now can anyone please help me out here and tell me what may be the problem.
Thank You
