Having a few problems with my overclock.
In the past week, WoW has BSOD'd a fair few times, at least 3. Normally, not too bothered, except it did it mainly in dungeons. Now, I know it's now a WoW issue as it's fine now my CPU and Memory are back at stock. I'm not sure why my PC is so unstable though. I had the memory at +0.1V, every other voltage at stock, timings at 4-4-4-12 (from 5-5-5-18), and the CPU was at 2.89GHz..

Could it not be getting enough voltage, or is this board pretty useless?

What's your memory running at and what's it rated?

It was running at 315MHz, now back up at 400MHz (It's DDR2, so 630/800)

Is it rated to run at 4,4,4,12, have you run memtest?
If that's ruled out then try running it at 2.7 for a while and see if the same happens.

As you know though BSOS can be caused by a lot of things that have nothing to do with an overclock.

It's rated to run at 5-5-5-18 like I said in the OP, but I'd tightened the timings. I'll put the timings back to CL4 and run Memtest next reboot

Nope

I've only ever 'clocked on a Gigabyte board, and I'm not too sure how other BIOS' work.

Or how this one works....
