Can someone help me explain what is happening with my cpu? Before this i overclock my phenom X4 955 from 3.2 to 4.2, after run prime95 for about 30min i guess, i close it cuz all seems to work pretty fine, after a couple of day, when i start my pc, it suddently show a blue screen, than i change the speed from 4.2Ghz to 4.0Ghz... Now i try the prime95, but the speed is only manage to go till 3.2Ghz only (i only try for 10min i guess, should i run the prime95 a lot longer?) so i change back to the stock speed which is 3.2Ghz, but i'm confuse right now because when i run the prime95 back, the speed show it runs at 4.0Ghz when it should only go to 3,2Ghz. Is this what overclocking does? I'm still noob .......

below here the details:

Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition
MoBO: Gigabyte GA-970-D3
GC:Sapphire HD6850 toxic
Ram: Corsair 4gb
Psu: GX550
Cooler: V6GT

The picture was taken while i run the benchmark test using Prime95.

owh.... ok... gonna try that now... TQ

Can someone please guide me on this. Will this be ok? At this moment, i already runs the Prime95 for 8hour, and it seems, the system is still stable. I already disabled QnC in bios and kept the voltage at auto(will this be alright?? ) and still no BSOD yet. And one more thing is, the side panel is open to let more air going into the CPU because my casing which is Corsair 600T(black) didn't have any slot for extra fan.

Spec
processor: AMD Phenom X4 955BE
Cooler: Cooler Master V6GT
motherboard: GA-970A-D3
gc: Sapphire HD6850 toxic
ram: Corsair 4gb D3 VS1333 (CL.9)
psu: Cooler Master GX550
casing: Corsair Graphite 600T




here is my idle stat after 8hour of Prime95 test. At auto voltage setting, it looks like the voltage has gone up to 1.424, should i change the voltage at bios to this voltage?
