I was just reading a thread on when to Overclock, and it got me thinking who has more stability issues with our sims, those who Overclock, those who don't, or does it matter? I don't OC because I can't I have a Dell system which doesn't allow me to. In return though my FSX installation has  been stable since installation in 2007 (It's a E6850 3Ghz C2D system). Other than OOM's from using addons that eat VAS, which is a totally differnt issue not related to this question, my system has been rock solid. So I'm curious what others experiences are and if there may be any correlation where OCing may have played a role. So other then OOMing, consider stability, in terms of unexplained CTD's, Graphic anomalies or any other unexplained problem you are having with each Sim (Do not count Frame Rate Issues). I'm going to include FS2004, FSX, P3D, XP10. Thanks

Thanks

Computer is custom built. In the build process tested all of the hardware for stability and up dated the BIOS prior to windows. Installed windows 7 64 Bit Advanced Command Prompt and turned off the non since. Then installed chipset drivers and required drivers for the hardware left out all of the bloat ware.  Followed NickNs guide on how to install FSX. After and only after every thing was completed then over clocked the system two weeks after the build and installs was completed. Never had FSX crash to the desk top or lock up on this system or the previous system. Nicks guide is very detailed and makes a lot of common since.
