Blue Screen Error

[topslop1]

I was opening up a game of Counter-strike when my machine blue screened out and hardlocked - giving me the error of

Machine_Check_Exception.

I am overclocked on my A64 by 150mhz but it ran through Prime95 without a problem.

so it's not your RAM that's giving you the problem then...

So the ram is straight but something else isn't then?

Is your machine still overclocked?

This is microsoft's explanation:

Machine check exceptions are frequently caused by one of the following conditions:
? You are running the processor or mainboard beyond its specifications. For example, you are overclocking the processor or bus. We recommend that you run your hardware at the manufacturer-rated speeds.
? Noisy power, overstressed power strips, outmatched power supplies and failing power supplies can destabilize your computer. Make sure that you have a stable, reliable power supply to your computer.
? Extreme thermal conditions caused by the failure of cooling devices such as fans may damage your computer. Make sure that your cooling devices are all working.
? You have damaged memory or memory that is not the correct type for your computer. If you recently changed the memory configuration, revert to the previous configuration to determine what is wrong. Make sure that you are using the correct memory for your computer.

Return your system to standard clock settings and see if the problem persists

If you need any further advice, please list your full system specs

When back to stock it doesn't give me the same problems as before. Thanks. I'll just have to stress test it a bit more...
