Even if I back it down to my previously stable 3.8, 3.6, 3.2GHz settings, I get the error. Last night I uninstalled my nvidia drivers, so far no problems, but I also backed down to 2.8GHz.

Any idea's. I saw something about the video card and a small PSU, but I'm using a 1KW PSU, with a measure max wall pull of 620-700W total. @ 4GHz @ 2.8GHz I'm pulling about 410W from the wall.

I'd be inclined to say that you corrupted some key OS files while trying to overclock. That is the only logical explanation why you are still getting problems even after you backed your overclock down.

1)For a overclock on the i7 920 in the 3.2ghz region is a voltage increase required.
2)With the TRUE 120 cooler how far of an OC is possible.

I know every cpu is different but just give me a general idea.
Max you will be able to keep with the TRUE is about 4GHz. Realistically, the sweet spot is probably 3.8GHz. Over 4GHz any app that loads all cores and threads 100% will cause your temps to go through the roof. You should not need a voltage increase for 3.2GHz but I would not leave the voltage on Auto as that will cause your voltage to increase to 1.425V quite likely. Just set it manually to something like 1.12V or around there and try.
