Any idea what this means or how I can fix it? My overclock has been fine for weeks. Now my computer just shuts itself off or there's a BSOD. Any help would be aprecciated. Thanks.

You may want to check your temps.

1.55V is VERY high for a dual core. Why are you overvolting your proc like that? Just foolish unless you have some really fancy cooling.

PSU is a fortron rated at 400watts(450 peak), I forgot to change my sig, I put the volts back down to 1.5volts and how do I run memtest?
edit: When I used to check temps when I first overclocked it it used to peak out at 52C with both cores fully stressed in prime 95. I'll check the temps again later today just to make sure.

You're right - I just checked the VCORE on my FX60 and it's 1.42 volts. :Q

Aren't random restarts symptoms of a bad power supply?

If I get this quad rail psu, then I'd plan to keep it for a long time. Good price on it too.

A 500watt seasonic was my other choice, are the M12's worth more money?

I asked a computer expert and they told me that if it were a power supply problem it would happen faster than a few minutes of playing a game. I took off the cpu overclock just now and it ran without problems, noticably slower framerates and load times unfortunatly. Maybe there is a happy medium at 2.6GHZ or something.
edit: running at 2.6GHZ is fine. There are absolutly no temperature problems, around 49C with both cores fully loaded. I was able to lower the voltage a bit as well. 2.6GHZ will do.
