I've played around with this processor before. 3.6GHz is peanuts even on el-cheapo motherboard. biggrin.gif

What is your DRAM voltage? unsure.gif

It happens about once every 2 days during random situations (eg. when I have not boot into windows, idle in windows or playing games). The error stated in BOD would mostly be "Memory Management". However, there are some other errors which occur less.
Sounds like memory stability issue, try running Memtest86+ or Memtest86 with at least 5 to 10 passes/loops. Also make sure the C1E is disabled in the BIOS setup. hmm.gif

In addition, my cpu voltage in BIOS is 1.425V while cpuz only show much less at 1.392V. Intel burn test results are also not consistent (Gigaflops range from 17 to 20.9). I've run Prime95 at SmallFFTs which is stable for 2.5 hours. Sorry I have yet to test "blend" in prime95. Appreciate if sum1 can advise if there is any issues with my OC settings.
If not mistaken, no need to go to 1.4V at this frequency. In fact my overclocking was done with stock voltages, its not until I've reached around 3.7GHz that I need to pump more voltage. icon_rolleyes.gif
