Have you stress-tested the PC with the overclock to ensure it's stable?

I run a benchmark on AMD overdrive. But ive now removed the overclock and it hasnt done it since but it did take me 4 attempts to get it to do it for the video.

If you're interested in overclocking you should read about stress testing. There's plenty of information available through Google.

I can't see the error screen, blury. Looks like an unstable pc. stress test stress test stress test. ATI overdrive is not a good stress test. I would recommend "memtest" for your OCZ gold ram stress test ( let it test for 4 hours ) It only stress's your memory. Then run "OCCT" it has options to stress test cpu, gpu with a mix of both cpu & gpu. If it is due to an unstable pc than these 2 programs will help you pin point a hardware issue.

First, i guess its your video linked. Put your vSync on ... may help lol

Other thing is stress test doesnt even give you 80% guarantee about safe overclock (self experience). You can check out your CPU's information on AMD site i guess and look for the normal fsb and then put it back to normal through bios.
