funny how you say most who can pass PI can not run 3d apps or prime as I'm totally opposite. I can prime all day, run any program I want all day and my machine runs great but if I try PI at anything above 1m superpi will crash.

Then you would appear to have a memory issue or need to play with cpu pll or one of the NB settings Id say your not 100% dialed in on the sweetspot of your ram or the chipset or the high FSB.....go check the prime stable threads, there are lots and lots that pass PI fine at insane speeds, Prime and 3d apps snap them back into reality in what the chips able to do 24/7 however

Just out of curiosity, slap a divider on your ram and downclock it and try something higher you failed PI at before like 8M If it still fails look to the chipset as the cause.....and tweak the voltage a little, could possibly be cpu pll volts also if its a GO chip.

From my findings in order to test overall system from harder to easier:
1)Orthos/Prime blend
2)OCCT
3)New Games
4)3d Mark loops
5)Super pi 32m (one instance for every core)
6)wprime1024m
7)superpi32m
8)pifast
9)wprime32m
10)superpi1m (one instance for every core)
11)superpi1m

I'm 1-4 stable. No crashes, etc. Since those are the "hardest" to pass then I'd consider myself good to go. I don't really care about superpi as it seems it's really only used as a benchmark.
