Ok i'm still with my first build which has been running smooth as you like for months until recently.
I had my chip Overclocked to 3.8Ghz and this was prime95 stable around 14hours on the blend test. Cooling was fine temps during the small FFts occasionally creeped over the 70 mark but for seconds only and this is well within Q6600 G0 specifications.
Now, recently i reinstalled windows and all of my applications while overclocked at 3.8Ghz and after 2 - 3 days i began to experience the BSOD which became a more frequent until finally i attempted load in to windows and couldn't due to a corrupt .sys file.
I attempted to load windows but during the data transfer from CD to ram i experienced a further error - corrupt mraid35x.sys installation can not continue.
I was stuck for three days
I checked all my components in a back up machine, formated the hard drive and ran tests on the memory - all good.
Put my machine back together and
same error - Mraid35x.sys is corrupt.
I don't know how this worked but i tried to use Knoppix 5.1 bootable OS to run system diagnostics - not knowing how it works i simply loaded it up and ended up closing it down very quickly........
Then i had one more attempt at windows expecting the same error
but no.... IT WORKED!!!
This time i loaded windows, applications and games at default settings on everything and i have not yet - touch wood - experienced any problems... Back to testing the stability of a new overclock and this time for 24hours i think.
If you managed not to get bored by this point and move on to a different thread can you answer 2 questions....???
1. Was my BSOD and data corruption errors the result of loading applications while in an unstable overclock? If so, i thought 14h of Prime95 was more than enough??
2. What the hell did loading and closing down knoppix 5.1 bootable OS do?
