Why don't you run some tests to find out? Slow down your OC to see if that helps. Run memtest86+ as a basic check of your RAM. Run Orthos or similar PRIME95-based stress testing program to stress CPU+RAM.

I'm running the 5000 BE at 3.01 Ghz without any issues. I would also recommend checking your RAM.
