It could be anything. Your RAM might be overtaxed, your chipst might not be able to handle it, or the processor itself might not be up to par. It's definitely not your OS however. I get the feeling you're not a very experienced overclocker - I'd do a bit more reading before overclocking again.e8500 ocing trouble.stops at 4.0
It could be anything really. I would say its least likely to be the CPU and more likely to be ram or voltage related. Its hard to say without knowing what ram you have, what voltage and timings, divider you have them set on etc etc. The 8500 is fully capable of 4.0 even if you get one from a bad or low yield batch so i highly doubt its the cpu and not something else.
I wouldn't raise the voltage past Intel's max voltages.
[QUOTE=''hooded1man'']I wouldn't raise the voltage past Intel's max voltages.[/QUOTE]You can actually get 4.0 pretty commonly on the 8xxx series stuff with stock voltage and sometimes even below stock voltage. Unless you get a really bad batch pick you pretty much never have to increase the vcore until you start getting into high end water or phase change clocks.

A blue screen is highly unlikely due to heat before it gets to the OS UNLESS its sitting there warming up in the bios for a long period of time.Unless you have it set to shutdown if it detects zero fan speed you can boot pretty much any of the C2D's without even having a HSF attached and get into the OS and even start a game/app w/e before it locks up. They just dont get warm that fast.
Ah well if it's more info that you require then i shall fulfill your desireI've got 2 gigs of ddr 3 dual channel ram @ 546 mhzMy fsb to ram ratio is 14:18 BUT i have them unlinked in my biosvoltage for ram is at the recommended 1.7
Also not the cooling,because it crashes right away while my temp is at a prettty pleasing to me atleast 50c.

Even if this isnt the cause of the problem you need to redo the seating.
I had the Heatsink and paste applied by a tech,and even then it's not rocket science,either way if i were to up my ram clock can i up my cpu? also the reading is off nvid monitor,
What are your specs?Ram, mobo, power supplu, video card, etc?Ram voltage at 1.7? Huh isnt that really low?
Or am I wrong? I thought normal was 1.9-2.1
14:18 ratio ? what the !%26@?!%26:P try using a 1:1 ratio, it's actually the best way to go when oc'ing, more stable. When overcloking, u need to OC your CPU, your RAM, your PCI-E port and NB+SB (voltage). You should be able to go over 4ghz even with like a 1.5 CPU voltage. I don't know if you mention it before, but you need good air or water cooling + thermal paste such as artic silver 5.My CPU: C2D E6420 2.13ghz @ 3.4ghzLook up for tutorials regarding your motherboard, there are good ones even on you tube sometimes.

I was able to get to the Windows desktop at 4.52GHz - however it was not stable, and I did not wish to crank Vcore high enough to stabilize it. The Intel data sheet shows 1.46V to be the maximum safe Vcore for the E8500, so I did not want to exceed that by much. 1.468V was enough to get the system stable for all our benchmarks at 4.275GHz. In order to reach 4.275GHz, I had to do the following:
- used a Noctua NH-U 12 heatsink with two 12cm fans
- set Vcore to 1.468V
- set Vfsb to 1.45V
- set FSB to 450MHz
- set memory to 1800MHz
- set memory timing to 8-8-8--24, 2T
- set memory voltage to 1.9V (officially supported for these OCZ modules)''
