to my knowledge i'm not over-clocking. my BIOS settings r set to Default.
however i've disabled F1 error and Turbo Tech in BIOS CPU Configuration because whenever i cold start the system i get this message: Over-Clocking Failed. Pls Enter Setup to Re-Configure settings or something like that. i don't think i'm over-clocking. not to my knowledge. and i'm not sure what 'under-volting' is

Dont worry about undervolting if you were you would know it. BIOS update maybe. whats the date on yours?

Asus Rampage III Extreme BIOS Version 1208. this was the latest available at asustek site.

If you are getting:

BSOD crash error STOP 0x00000101

Then it is a BAD CORE no matter whether it is INTEL or AMD. Stress tests do NOT usually show you this, they are pointless/worthless in this particular instance. I just got back another RMA replacement CPU because this error. The manufacturer checked it out & said, YES, it was a bad/defective Core. I have already received the replacement CPU. Look, I have been computing since 1979. There are some tricks you can do that will lower the strain on that bad CPU, & make you think it was your bios, video card, memory, or other things, but you are only temporarily fooling your computer. If you are still under warranty, contact Intel/AMD & tell them you were getting random BSOD's with the same error message every time. Tell them you took it into a local Computer Shop & that THEY diagnosed it as a defective CPU. That will usually get you a quite quick RMA process started.

I tried many versions of home stress tests that showed NO ERRORS, but soon as I started using it day to day again, here came that very same BSOD 101 error. Every single time a replacement CPU either retail or RMA has fixed this problem. I am trying to help here. Hope you can understand exactly what your problem is from this. Again, fooling with your Bios settngs, voltages, drivers, etc., is only a temporary fix, & does NOT fix the REAL problem. Replace your CPU.

Hey there, I used to have this problem when I installed AVG PC TuneUp. Right after I removed it my PC crashed again. After and since that last restart my computer has been running stable. I have an Intel core i7-950 3.07GHz proccessor and Windows 7 premium Ultimate 64bit. Since TuneUp messes with performance by messing with services, graphics and running programs this might be a hint of what is happening with your computer. Perhaps it has something to do with your visual settings or the services that run in the background. I hope this at least helps someone to figure out what the real problem is.
