If you do overclocking, do it manually. Steer clear of programs that do it for you to find "optimum" settings, and disable dynamic OC/powersaving functions (C1E, EIST, etc). Saves you a lot of headaches.

I am manually OC'g the CPU and system memory.
I was not using the CCC overdrive function for the graphics card. Albeit, I did have the Hyperdrive option enabled in the Smart Doctor which you need to have engaged to control the fan speed for the card.
However, the problem still occured when I disengaged the Hyperdrive function. Bottom line, the only way I was able to cure the problem was to use the CCC overdrive to underclock the GPU core and memory speeds. I.E. The game would not run at the default core & memory speeds for the card.
I have not learned enough about GPU and graphics memory manual OC'ing as yet although I know it can be done by tweaking the BIOS settings. That's one of the next items on my agenda.
There's a lot of upside potential left in my Quad Core CPU as I got lucky and got an expectionally good one. However, I've pushed it as far I can with air cooling. Thus,, my next project is to convert my rig from air to water cooling. I've put together a custom solution with most of the parts being bought from Danger Den. Have everything sitting here except for one last part that is due in in 2 days. Gosh knows, I hate to rip the motherboard out of this thing as everything is neatly laid out with a lot of care given to cable routing, ties etc. to include a twin RAID array. However, there's no getting around it to install the CPU water block.
