Overclocking is not necessarily the problem....

I had a similar problem and it turned out to be a bad motherboard. You also might want to check that the Fan on your video card still works, and that your case fans are not caked with dust. Could also be a power supply problem.

good advice, the basic prob is more than likely overheating

Uninstall ALL the old drivers for your graphic card then install fresh clean drivers.
