hello, here are my specs

msi p7n sli platinum
intel e8400 3.0ghz wolfdale - cooled with zalman 9500at
dual pny 8800gt 512mb -cooled with dual zalman vf1000
8 gig ocz platinum gamer ram pc6400
corsair 850w psu

ok so i oced the machine to 3.6ghz it was stable in all aspects left stress tests and orthos run for two days straight it was fine. but during games ie cod4 system would lock up. someone had mentioned stepping up cpu voltage a hair, it is 1.24 right now, i need to up it too 1.35v but i cannot do this. bios wil not let me change the values, the stable oc was fsb clock 1600 and memory clock 400mhz this was stable until game play. does anyone know how to set voltage in the msi bios, it is not user friendly and i am lost. any input would be greatly appreciated.
