Basically, i recently noticed that I had been patently stupid in my multiplications to work out my actual speed after OC'ing my e2160 - it came out at roughly 2.9 ghz rather than the 3 i had meant to have (yes, 333 is not a hard number to remember, but i was clearly stupid 
). So, i restart, go into the bios, change the FSB to 333, leaving my memory divider at 1:1, and my voltage at 1.375 (i think, cant remember actual figure....), thinking it would probably be stable, so, I boot into windows, turn on prime 95 and..... BSOD, so, I think, well, try more voltage (under load the temps were still fine around 45 degrees), and so i put it up another notch (still can't remember the figure, probably to 1.400), and boot, and... BSOD, so, then, I start wondering... why? my memory is rated at ddr2 800, and its still only going up to around 670 odd, my motherboard is an MSI p35 neo-2, so I don't think i've pushed the FSB too high.... did i just get an unlucky chip? none of my temps are high (according to speedfan, and coretemp), my RAM isn't under great strain, and my motherboard shouldn't be either... so wtf? (apologies if I said, implied or did anything disgustingly stupid, I have a habit of missing things that are ridiculously obvious)
