hi, i have a problem, i oced my a64 3500 to 2.6ghz, 1.45v 10x260 (mult x fsb), the ram divider is at 5:3 and i set the timings to 3-3-3-8-1T...i ran memtest for 9.5hrs with no problems and prime95 is running on its 5th hour without any problems so far...but when i play BF2 after about 20-30mins the pc freezes or reboots...my graphics card isnt over clocked and i have just reformated (due to other winxp related reasons), installed the latest drivers for everything....what coudl be wrong?

Could overheat. Reset CMOS to DEFAULT and retest. If okay, then back-off 50MHz from 2.6 and retest till you achieve stability.

yeah i reset the CMOS yesterday and i set it back to the settings in the first post, i did the memtest over night for about 10hrs and there wasnt any errors, i'm running prime95 (small fft) right now and its been almost 5hours without an error...
