I'm not sure if any real help can be given without me pasting every setting in my BIOS, but maybe there's a particular starting point for figuring out this kind of problem you guys can point me toward.
Running an ASRock Z68 with an i5 2500k with 8GB Patriot Signature RAM, Onboard/Onchip video.
I've successfully overclocked up to 4.6ghz and it was stable running stress tests in Prime95 for ~3 days. My temps were all way lower than the danger zone, so I thought I had this good to go.
However, after a long period of time - say, a week or two - my computer will BSOD. Seems to consistently happen at least every couple of weeks if I don't restart at some point. Now, I could just keep restarting more often but that doesn't really fix the problem.
Is there any setting this is most likely to be - one of the voltages needs to be increased, perhaps? I can definitely post all my BIOS settings if this doesn't really indicate anything.
Just seemed strange to me that heavy loads don't seem to kill it but long periods of time with average loads do.
