Erm I have a problem, for some reason whenever I overclock my cpu the pci/agp clocks go up as well, this is the ONLY thing causing instability because i keep getting errors in the nv4_*.dll files and nothing else. Is their anyway to lock it so it doesn't move when you overclock the other stuff? Or am i stuck because I dont see any option to keep it at default or something.
