Frequent Freezes

[tuxify]

My computer has been freezing a lot recently during very simple tasks (such as clicking a link in firefox with no other programs running). I just OCed my 5600+ to 3.1GHz, but I've run orthos for over an hour and I don't freeze, and it's stable until I stop it. Even when playing BF2 or other games, I never freeze. Does anyone have a solution?

Repair install of Windows?

Doesn't sound like overheating... Do this before OC?

Is it really really cold where you are?

... An CPU loves the cold, and hates the hot...

You could be at -20F and the CPU would run fine...

This happened to me when I switched an bunch of hardware... and when I accidentally left my heatsink off...

It did it before the OC, so I don't think it's that. I'm usually 23*c idle and 40-41*c load. I could repair windows, and even though I don't want to reinstall, I know it's probably the only option.

no maybe run a memtest and download ccleaner and check for errors with that, i have used that option before and it is a godsend i swear

Ok. Ran Memtest for over an hour, got to about 260% when I stopped it, so I don't think thats the problem. I also ran C Cleanup. I'll notify you guys if I keep freezing. Thanks Matt.
