And no, it aint DDR!!! I took my memory up to 220 mhz and my core up to 170 mhz. I had no problems at all until I set my core to 175 mhz. I'm kinda 2 cheap to buy cooling so i did this with a bag of ice (hehe). my 3dmark score went from 4413 to 6184 with this lil overclocking experiment. I took my cpu to 864 mhz from 700 mhz and i got a score of 7361. It's really took bad that i only have the trial and I can't do the result browser :-(. Well as I said b4, when i got to a 175 mhz core my computer froze so I restarted the computer. After that I started gettting very slow performance. I reallt don't know what to do now, my 3dmark score has dropped to 2315!!! I seriously need help.

Try reflashing geforce BIOS.

that's what I was thinking, but i'm really scared. I live in northern california and the power could go out at any time.

Maybe the computer froze because of the bag of ice. j/k California looks like their off the stage alerts, aren't they? You could always go an army/navy store and ask the owner if you could borrow his power generator.

Flashing the bios for the card does sound like the best way to go, though. Maybe drivers got corrupt in the process? good luck
