Just after overclocking, and I'm using HeavyLoad 3.0. How long should I let it test for?

Stress tests don't have a specific time in which you should wait, it is merely subjective. Basically run it as long as it takes to convince you it is stable enough for your use. Some people run them for days, others for only an hour. Typically I run them anywhere from an hour to 12 depending on what is convenient. 12 is excessive IMO unless you are at work or something.

I usually tend to go for 60-120 minutes of LinX / IBT on max mem and / or 60-120m Prime95 on Custom Blend and a few runs of a benchmarking program such as 3dmark11 or cinebench. If it passes that, it's unlikely to crash under game / fold load.

Thanks for your help. I let it run for four hours, and got to a max of 70°C which is good enough for me.

Does anyone know what the problem could be? I have a asrock 990 mother board, 1350 psu, 2 r9 290x gpu, 8 gb ram, everything ran fine, then i added a 3rd r9 290x card, everything ran fine for a few days, then my system would shut off. Now i reinstalled windows and computer keeps freezing on either boot up or in windows while doing updates, tried removing the cards and only having one running and system keeps freezing at some point? Please help and thank you!
