Whats funny is it doesn't do it during benching, but let me try to play a game and they are crap.

Jeffro,
When I was running my P5Q Deluxe I was running a prime95 24 hour stable 4.0 OC. This was also bench stable. I started to game on the system and 5 minutes in the system would freeze. I had to lower the NB, PLL, and Vdimm volts and I couldgame for hours with issue however the system would fail prime 95 after 1 hour. Stability comes in all forms. Synthetic bench marks and stability testing programs are a good start however 24/7 stability needs all programs to work. After that issue 1 hour prime and then I would test for 24/7 stability and call it good.
