Hardware comes to mind. Check that any of your overclocked components are stable. It cold also be a PSU problem. Maybe even a driver issue.

Twice came up PSU. The rails seem stable at 12.1v and 5.187v...nothing too bad with that? It only happends after 2142, not any of my other games.

Sometimes 8hrs. isn't enough.
So none of your other games give you any problems? If you are 100% sure about that then it could be either the game itself (did you always have these problems or did they start recently?) or one of your drivers (video card, or even sound drivers).

Overnight prime is all good. Thats about 12 hours now...

Its only 2142 that does it, and its only happend the past cuple times i've playeed it. For the first two weeks i was fine, no crash to desktop, anything of the sort. Now, im expectant of at least 1 or 2 crashes to desktop per time i play. Just once it did the crazy reboot

Then it's the game itself. Try re-installing it and/or playing with your video drivers.
In another note, I also got a few BSOD's yesterday. Ran Prime for 10hrs. and my PC froze. It's either Windows itself or my dear OC developed instability over time (I used to be able to run 24hrs.+ of each test in Prime with no problems). Back to 2.8GHz (still testing to be sure). Oh well, PWMIC temps. were starting to get crazy anyways. Moral of the story: Always distrust your OCs, especially if it's an extreme one.
