When you say "OC programs" do you mean you are using an app in windows? if so, stop! Only OC from the relative safety of the BIOS.
When I hit the perverbialtech wall, I know no defeat. I am a bit anal when it comes to stability with my stsem, as with my customers systems also.
Basically what I would do in your situation is:
Return everything completely to standard.
Grab a spare hard drive and do a clean install of your OS, Prime95, CPU-Z, GPU-Z and any video stability test app you desire.
Leave everything at standard, run Prime while monitoring your frequencies and volts.
Run the video stability app.
Then once you have confirmed that the system is stable/unstable in completely standard form, you proceed with your OC/upgrade.
Just my way of doing things. Each to their own. If you weren't so far away, I'd come over and have a few beers with ya and give ya hand to test it out, I love a good challenge, (probably why I am married to a redhead and have 5 kids)
May the Force be with you!
