Well here is the problem I am having. When overclocking my e8400 to 10%, 20% or higher (15% works) I usually get a black screen during boot that will not load windows. However if I do get booted into windows i usually get memory errors and/or it runs disk checks when im booting. I can overclock 5% without a problem and 15%. My cpu isnt running hot so I believe the issue may be my motherboard or possible ram timings/voltage. My question is what could be the problem and is there known issues I don't know about with this motherboard. BTW my motherboard bios is up to date and my RAM timings are on auto for this ram but apparently are specced at 5-5-5-18. Anyway here are the specs of my comp.
