From my experiences, if the core was too high my games freeze, if the mem was too high I get artifacts (snowy white specs).

 

I believe heat is what causes it for the most part. Parts are made to work under a certain amount of heat, we OC it and it produces more heat, thus throwing it outta spec. Also just running it too fast can cause artifacts. You can watercool or go extreme on vid cards but they can only go so fast no matter the temp. So either heat, or you're going as fast as it's gonna go.

 

If you get artifacts usually bumping down the mem speed a few Mhz will clear it up.
