How do I make my CPU stable after overclocking?

I overclocked my i7 920 to 3.6 GHz and ran prime 95 and one of the cores stopped working and said it had a fatal error but the others are working fine. If I got over 3.6 GHz, windows won't even load, it just freezes at the beginning or I get blue screen of death. All of my temps are below 60 on my CPU and the vreg is 50 degrees. What do I need to change?How do I make my CPU stable after overclocking?Try making very small increases in the voltage for the CPU. This will generally solve any stability issues you have with an overclocked processor. This can be done through the BIOS.



Be very careful though, and increase in the smallest increments possible. Increasing the voltages too much can damage your hardware.How do I make my CPU stable after overclocking?Why the hell you need to overclock an i7?How do I make my CPU stable after overclocking?You are greedy and you'll pay for it.
