48 degrees is high,,.i whould suggest u changing to a better cooler,,like a vocalno 7+ cause zalaman doesnt do the job when it comes to extreme gaming. What type of case,,and case fans are u using?

[bigjackusa]

What kind of cooling is on the vid card, and if is active, is it still working?

48C isn't really all that high, if that's your max - it shouldn't be causing instability

try backing off the timings of your RAM & see if that helps

thanks guys...i resolved the problem and its my memory timing....
i set it to 7-3-3-2.5 100% even i go to 54 degree still stable......i read it to epox forum....i took off my northbrige heat sink and apply as3...put fan on it....they said if your over clocking...you have to do this...which i found out that there is a little bit like glue on it (heatup w/ a blower for 10 sec and pull it out..careful its hot)
and also heat sink in southbride and on the six black square on the left of the cpu (sorry i forgot what it is)
