    I have overclocked my GPU Ati 4650 mobility 1 gig GDDR3 to 670 clock speed/800 memmory speed and I never get a BSOD in SF4, even after letting CPU vs CPU in Street Fighter 4 run after 7 hours. I also never get a BSOD after running 3Dmark06 the first time, but once I run it twice without restarting I always get a BSOD. If i restart and run 3dmark06 there is no BSOD, but if I run it again a second time I get a BSOD. I tried running 3dmark06 once, then restarting and then running 3dmark06 again and did not get BSOD. Im on Windows 7 7600 Build with a Vaio VGN-FW465. Anyone have any reason why I get a BSOD only after running 3Dmark06 twice without restarting.

    Edit: My temps never go above 63C during the test and im running 9.7 catalyst drivers
