First of all, every time I OC my eVGA 7600 GT KO using the Detect Optimal Frequencies button in Coolbits, my computer always seems doomed to freeze and restart at least once within a couple hours, usually more than once.
Second, when OCed, my 3D mark score becomes about half that of what it was prior to OCing it. Typically my score goes from about 3600 to 1800. I am using 3DMark06.
Why is my graphics card the driving force behind these massive random restarts?
Why does OCing cause a gaming benchmark to decrease?
Should I be RMAing my graphics card?
