    ok i keep getting the BSOD at randm times on my computer. (see sig) im overclocking my Athlon 64 3000+ venice from 1800mhz to 2569 on an asus a8ne motherboard. my temperature monitor says neither my graphics card nor my processor are getting too hot.. could it possibly by my ram? i have ocz premier series ddr400. or might it just be a borked windows install?

    help appreciated... simon...

    It seems as if your overclock isn't stable; either your memory or your CPU is being pushed too hard for the voltage that you are feeding it. Download Prime95 and give it a run for a few hours, then try it without your overclock. If it's fine without the OC, you need to ramp it up slowly (100Mhz or so at a time), checking for stability at each step.
