Default E6550 OC problem

I have a problem with overclocking my E6550 CPU.

My PC:

CPU:E6550
MB:Gigabyte P35 DQ6
RAM:Corsair Twin2X4096-8500C5C (2X2GB DDR2 1066MHz)

I have overclocked it to 3.36GHz but after some time 15-20 minutes running Prime 95 the system freezes.

This is how its set in Bios:

Robust graphics booster=Auto
CPU Clock Ratio=x7
CPU Host Clock Control=Enabled
CPU Host Frequency=480MHz
PCI Express Frequency=100MHz
C.I.A.2=Disabled
System Memory Multiplier:2.0
Memory Frequency=960MHz
DRAM Latency:5-5-5-18

System voltage control=Manual
DDR2 Over Voltage=+0.25V
PCI-E Over Voltage=Normal
FSB Over Voltage=+0.10V
MCH Over Voltage=+0.10V
CPU Voltage=1.42500V

Whats the problem here?

Try raising the MCH and FSB voltages to +0.20v.

When i set the System voltage control to Auto it was stable for over 3 Hours.

The FSBRAM ratio is 1:1

The Memory voltage is at 2.1V

Can the memory latency cause problems & make system to freeze?

I can set it to:

5-5-5-15

5-5-5-18

5-6-6-18

Does anyone have the same PC as i & had the same problem?

Please help.

Like Acoma said raise FSB and MCH volt's.

I have changed some parameters in Bios & run Orthos.

DRAM Latency:5-5-5-15

System voltage control=Manual
DDR2 Over Voltage=+0.25V
PCI-E Over Voltage=Normal
FSB Over Voltage=+0.05V
MCH Over Voltage=+0.025V
CPU Voltage=1.36875V

Orthos run for 1 Hour & 8 Minutes & then froze.

FSB voltage is too low, or is that a typo? Your DDR2 voltage is also too low, it should be +0.3v (which makes it 2.1v). If that all still doesn't work, you need to raise the CPU voltage.

The DDR2 voltage is set to +0.25V which makes it 2.11V!

I have tested my CPU with Orthos with Small FFT torture test to see if its stable or if it needs more voltage.

After 8 hours of testing the CPU everything was ok,no errors.

Then i started Memtest86 to test the memory.

Its been 5 Hours 30 minutes now & no errors,the memtest86 is still running.

This is strange but when i run the Blend test system freezes after some time.

What is causing the system to freeze?

Increase MCH.
