I had some problems with my HDD, other games crashed as well and one week ago the whole system went down. I had to reinstall Windows and all other programs as well.. Windows just didn't load anymore, not even after trying out all possibilities(safe load, last known usable settings, removing sp2 from recovery console, fixing boot sectors in recovery console, installing Windows over old one).
HDD seems to be fine now, so I think too many jams(and resets) just escalated into that earlier meltdown. I also lowered my overclocks a bit to prevent faults in memory access. My system crashed because of faults in page file(kernel inpage errors), so it's possible also that overclocked cpu and memory caused faults in page file = bad blocks). I had no problems with overheating before, run my system for almost 2 years with same overclocked speeds. So I think(and hope) the problem was due both overclocking and several bad jams that ultimately screwed it up permanently.
Well, system been running less than a week now perfectly, winspww2 too
Well I have another problem, i started a new post for that one.
