First I would suggest setting all to stock/default (make sure it's prime stable even with stock voltages) and seeing if it crashes with those programs running or not. If it does than it's not your overclock... if it doesnt there is something about your overclock and those programs running.
Second thing is (if comp crashes tonight or if it crashes when you set all to stock/default) it may be a PSU. I have found in the past that no matter how much you spend on a PSU that sometimes you get a bad one that does some funky stuff. I have changed every part in my rig before with similar problems only to find out that the last component left was the PSU and sure enough that was it. Electricity does funny things sometimes. However I would try all other things before you exchange a PSU. I would even run memtest for hours on you current rig to just make sure you memory is stable. It sounds like it is though with prime/orthos.
