I have the following specs:

E6300 L629A (Apparently a good stepping) 350x7 Lapped.
ECS 650i (Found it in my closet, odd)
DDR2 2x2GB
650W Earthwatts
GTX 260 Core 216

I was playing around and found a 650i board that I didnt even know I owned in my closet, installed it, found it to OC better than my old Abit IB9, so then the fun started. Started off at 375 FSB, I was cruising around windows for a while then a random BSOD, so I am wondering what the problem with stability was. My RAM is unlinked to FSB at 800 so I know it's not the problem. Reviewers have gotten upwards of 400 FSB on this board, I even saw one with 466. I am looking for a good stable OC, I also have the nTune program installed, it actually works OCing from windows. All voltages are stock so I think that they may be the problem.

Also, I don't have the latest BIOS update as I don't know how to install in Vista64, and i dont know how to do it from boot, helping me with that would be nice as well! (Gigabyte @BIOS doesn't work)

Another question, how is it that I raised my CPU Voltage by like .055 and my temps are lower....makes me think CoreTemp is inaccurate....
