Hi all! I am new here and not having too much experience in OC.

Following all the advices I found I managed to put my E6400 up to 3.5 GHZ last week. I start windows and can play, surf internet, etc for hours..but today it gave it gave me 3 blue screen crashes:
Memory management
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Page_fault_in_nonpaged_area

Orhtos and OCCT test OK; Temp iddle about 42-44 C and 55-57C at full. Never reached 60 C.
I have artic cooling Pro 7 on CPU, pasive cooling on SB and a 4 cm fan on top of NB (not reseated) - not sure of temp in NB - does speedfan or OCCT show it? which sensor is it?

BIOS 1201
Vcore 1.4
Vram 1.9 or 2.085
NBcore 1.56
Vcore ofset +100 mV

FBS 1750 Mhz

Memory 800 Mhz (5-5-5-18 2T)
OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 Vista Performance Gold 4GB Dual Channel
Run memtest for hours and no problem found.

Does anyone has an idea what' s going on with my system?
Any sugestion to improve stabilyty or quality of my OC?

Cheers!

iif u get randum crashes not within the first 5 mins of computing, then u need more vcore, if it crashes within liek a min or to within windows being up its a ram problem, jsut up the vcore and i reocmmend testin with LINX google linx stess test.

What is my weakest link in my system? In other words, if you were going to upgrade a component, which one would you upgrade?

Board: ASUSTeK Computer INC. P5N-E SLI 1.XX
1.87 gigahertz Intel Core 2 Duo E6300
3582 Megabytes Installed Memory
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS [Display adapter]

It's a memory related error, but it doesn't necessarily mean your system isn't stable. No system is 100% stable, so it could just be that you got unlucky and happened to have a problem that day, but will never have one again, or you could continue to have them regularly.

I would try raising the memory voltage to the next one up, since the recommended memory voltage for your RAM is 2.1V, and although 2.08V is near enough, that 0.02V can make a difference in some cases. I believe the next one up is 2.17V, that should be safe, but don't go any higher than that unless you know what you're doing.

Another thing you might want to consider is the strain you're putting on the northbridge. With FSB that high you're putting a lot of strain on the northbridge, which in turn puts strain on the RAM, causing you to either need more NB voltage or more RAM voltage. I wouldn't up the NB voltage much though, not without watching how hot it gets, since this board gets particularly hot. Though I presume you know that, as you have put a fan on it.

Thanks for all comments - I think the northbridge was the reason. I was having too many random crashes just doing minor things in windows. So I reduced the NB voltage and FBS 1700 (3.4GHZ) and now more crashes again...and runnig pretty cold. I will watch and test my system for few days and then try to increase again FBS a lilltle bit and see what happens.
