Ok here the deal, i can boot into windows at 450 mhz fsb and it will sit idle for as long as i want, but anytime i run 3dmark it crashes at the beginning. I can run orthos for 30 mins and do random other things but will not run 3dmark06. Am i stable or is there anything i can do to run 3dmark?

Try running dual Orthos overnight. 30 minutes is nothing. Once you run it overnight with no errors, then it will be stable, but for now, it does not sound like it.

I have an E6400 that was 6 hours ORTHOS Stable, but it crashed on the second test of 3DMark01. Don't know. It was weird.

EDIT: Haha. Realized trying to run 3DMark01 while Music, Firefox, Orthos, and Prime95 are running is generally not a good idea. I forgot I had Orthos and Prime95 running (minimized to taskbar). What a f$*!ing stupid mistake, eh?

As already said 30 min of Orthos is nothing. Another thing to consider, if you are just doing small FTT's in Orthos, you are stressing the CPU, but not the memory or the video card. Blend test will stress the CPU and the memory. 3Dmark will use memory, cpu, and video card..so it could be one of the other components that is unstable with your overclock..

If it fails in Blend but not SmallFFTs, then you can probably try bumping your NB/MCH/SPP voltage or your vDIMM.
Also, you'll probably want to run Memtest in DOS.
Otherwise, you just might need to bump vCore and maybe VTT/FSB as well.
