Well I started overclocking the other day and everything was going good until i tried to run Prime95. Now I realize that this is a very important program to test the stability of the overclock. But I overclocked my ram and got it to pass Memtest86+. I got it up to 255Mhz with decent timings. So now I started to overclock my cpu. I would change the HTT and then load into windows and test the stability by running Prime95, I would just run the test to check the cpu. After I let it run for about 30min, I would up the HTT and the vcore untill I got it to 255HTT so I was running 1:1. Well I was about ready to call it quits for the night so I decided to let Prime95 run overnight on the blend test. Well it would only run for about 3 mins before I got an error. I shut down the computer for the night, and today when I went back to work to figure out what was wrong I ran Memtest86+ for about 2 hours and everything was fine. So I loaded into windows and ran the blend test again but the same thing happened. I then started to lower everything down and running the blend test to find out what I could get it to run stable at. Well 5 hours later I found myself at stock speeds on everything. So I am wondering if there is a problem with my ram or what. Cause it would pass Memtest86+. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. And sorry about it being so wordy.
