Mr.jacksaunt:
Voltage should be of little concern at that point. There should not be any large risk of the processor frying because of undervoltage if you've increased it from an already stable amount.
If you were stable 4.2 @ 1.03, you're stable for a lot more if you increase it to 1.05.
But there isn't harm done in overvolting besides heat if you feel like it might fry.

My max at 100% load is 70 degrees (averages at around 66-68 on all 4 cores) with an ambient of 30 (85 Fahrenheit). I believe that it's still on the safe side as somone said a few pages back.

I have done both. Drivers are good, RAM is fine. It's not "fried" or anything, lol. I've no idea what to do next. Is it a hardware issue? If so, how do I know what piece of hardware it is that needs to be replaced?

Have you already defragmented? Have you tried cleaning your registry? Run CCleaner?
