Alright i have my Q6600 stable at 3.6 ghz 1.4000v. My mem is ddr2 800 at 1006 mhz. I have run memtest and prime95 for 8 hours, no errors 100% stable. Temps max at 58c. Im using a P5K Deluxe on the latest 0705 bios. When i first boot up my computer cold, the fans will go on for about 2 seconds then it will complelety shut off and restart. Generally after it does this it will either freeze in the middle of booting windows or BSOD while booting windows with a IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. After it does this the computer will restart and boot up fine. As i said it is 8 hours prime95 stable and memtest. Sisoft shows proper improvement in performance as well as 3dmark. What voltages should i raise to fix this? Vcore does not seem to help at all. I have CPU PLL voltage, clock over charging mode, cpu voltage reference, fsb termination voltage, NB voltage, NB voltage reference, SB voltage. All other besides vcore are at auto or stock. Please help.
 
Testing using memtest will indicate if you have good ram or not.

Use the blend setting for prime95 to test for the stability of ram, this could very well be the problem.
 
Ram is not the problem, i have noticed that when playing crysis while overclocked i see huge performance loss. Switching to 2.4ghz fixes this issue. Ram is still overclocked with no issues. How could my cpu be stable from prime95 but see performance loss in games and cold boot issues when overclocked?
