Default Games crashing

I think i know why my games are crashing recently i got bf2 and i was playing and 10 minutes in i get error message and sent back to the desktop. i think it is because i dont have enought vcore. i have my 3.0ghz p4 at 3.49 right now and idle cpuz tells me about 1.50vcore. i recently brought my speed from 3.6 to 3.49 and raised the vcore a smidge. my max temp is 55C. What is up?

He's saying by going back to stock, it gives you a baseline to start from. You don't have to stay there. Your vcore looks low. Did you do any type of stress testing to see if your systems is stable at the OC?

Yeah go back to stock speeds, see if it crashes. Then if it doesn't, OC, and stress test it.
