    hi, I have a problem!
    Whenever I try to overclock my 8600 gt 256 ddr2, i cant play games or run a 3d mark 06 score test, because my screen frezzes and i have to restart. Without overclocking, everything runs fine! I use 570/470, i think thats decent. Yeah and i am using xp32 and i am using rivatuner 2.06 to overclock my videocard.

    So whats the problem?

    are you using overclockable drivers?

    also for me it freezes when i reach the limit of my gfx card...so try lowering the values to see if thats whats causing the problem

    Seems to me that your card is being pushed too far. As BB said, lower the clocks and see if that helps.
