Overclocking... this ok?

Windows will turn on... work fine for a few minutes then restart itself and recovering from a serious error. Why is this? Bump it back down to 340 (3.06ghz) i'm good again.
 
^ Yes, you need to raise the voltage as well as ensuring that the memory isn't running too fast for the current voltage.

I raised the voltage one level from it's current setting when I raised the frequency from 340 to 350.

How do I check to see if the memory is running to fast right now?

Is that why i'm crashing when playing video games then? I run fine using basic applications... but I can't play video games anymore. I was thinking I needed to memory. But maybe it's because the speeds are too much?

Memory settings are at default btw.
 
Look under the memory tab and see how fast your ram is running, if it says it is running at something over 400 MHz than that means your ram is overclcoked too, and you may need to up the voltage and / or slacken the timings according to how high your OC is. Or you can set your divider lower so your ram is underclocked or remained @ stock speed.

Memory Tab? Where is that? haha

When I go into Bios... I am at "Auto" for all my memory settings.

I also have no idea where I should start the voltage on my Ram settings.
 
It should say somewhere, DDR2 Voltage Control, probably set to auto. You need to find your RAM voltage first by using CPU-Z. Then up the voltage one level, Such as 1.9 to 2.0. Then up your V-core, then see if it posts.
