Desktop Woes

So recently my desktop has been having multiple BSODs, and I think it's because I'm overclocking my video card too much. I have a 9600GT with stock clocks of 675/1625/900 (core/shader/mem), but when I game I overclock it to 720/1900/1000. Yeah, I know that shader OC his HUGE, but still. I've dropped it down to 700/1850/975, and I still get BSODs. I think my shader is 1825 MAX, while I know my core is 725 stable. I'm almost certain the mem is 1000 stable as well. Oh well, what can you do? More fiddling is in for me.

And I've completely thrown all OCs to my CPU. No point anymore. My super-old s939 4400+ get's to 60+ degrees C at 2.5Ghz, and isn't even Intel Burn Test stable (5 iterations) at that. It was stable at 2.4Ghz, but once again, it was 60+ degrees. Seeing how my MaxTemp is 58, that can't be good for my CPU. I'm kinda sad that I took it of water. I really liked that Koolance case I had, but that rig wasn't worth the 4k I put into it.

Oh well, does anyone have any good PC game recommendations? I just finished Gears of War, GTA4, and Mass Effect. I have NFS:Undercover and Assassin's Creed, but both of them seem waaay to repetitive.

I'm baaaaack!

Wow, so the last time I blogged on this was almost a year ago. And what did I say then? "Oh, and being a doctor is slowly turning into a good dream and less of a reality." Yeah, I'd say that's the case right now. Bleh, I should probably be studying for my advanced biochemistry exam right now. Okay. This is was just a random update.
