The c000005 error is typically a window crash, related to memory if memory serves. Reduce the OC and run a Memtest. Search the forum for more examples of the error and solutions.

Are you over-clocking the machine?

I did run memtest for 30 min without finding anything wrong.
It might be becouse bios/UEFI did detect the ram as DDR3-1333 where it is DDR3-1066 (eg auto overcloacking). Change the settings to DDR3-1066 And I hope it solve the problem (I will report back when I come home tonight if it is the problem)

FYI, memtest is usually run overnight, i.e. at least 8 hours for a few passes.

PantherX: oh. I did not know that. Last time I did have suspicion about bad ram I run it for a few minuts before memtest did detect bad errors

Depends on how thorough you want to test the memory.

1 or 2 passes is enough to catch serious memory errors. When I build a new system, I test for 24 hours to allow for the ambient room temperatures to cycle up and down. Or if I am getting intermittant errors, or inconsistent timing on errors, I let it run for several hours just to be certain.

Sounds like the Memory Speed OC setting could have been the issue, and not bad memory. But if the fah problem comes back, do run memtest longer.
