    Computer Continuously Restarts at Desktop

    When you installed the new video card drivers did you uninstall the previous ones? Since it runs in Safe mode perfectly(which uses very basic video drivers) my impression is that the video card drivers are conflicting with each other.

    OCing an E6600 F batch

    I was one of the unlucky ones to get an F batch of E6600. I just overclocked it yersterday (1st time ever OCing) to 2.7GHz. From what I have read the F's are terrible for OCing. What is a reasonable OC for them? I reached 2.7 easy, but when running Orthos the temps averaged 58-56C. Could I go...
