crashing 3dmark05 not sure why

[Cr0nJ0b]

For some reason, which I'm not quite understanding...I'm crashing at the end of the first graphis test in 3dmark05. I tried a different test and it also crashed at the end of the test. I'm overclocked, but I thought I was stable.

any thoughts?

try OCCT instead of prime.

http://www.ocbase.com

site in french but the d/l and the program itself are in english. memtest itself is WAYYY too overrated...its really only good for a pre-testing to make sure its safe to boot into windows.

I had occasions where i could run HOURS of test 5/test8...but could not even BOOT because the system was still instable.

OCCT is best...and/or prime95...with the RIGHT settings.

Add: Later on....if OCCT stable...i would check into graphics drivers

I had that happen...needed more vcore for 3D stability.

There was also an issue with a certain DDR IC on a certain PCB (Infenion BE-5 with Brainpower PCB) that had 3D stability problems.
