I'm getting a lot of unpredictable BSODs while using 4GB of Crucial Ballistic (on the Asus QVL) ram with my Striker Extreme.
When running Vista 64 with 2GB it is rock solid. However, with 4GB sometimes it works ok and other times it wont get past the login screen without crashing.
I've got the ram set at 4-4-4-12 with the FSB at 800MHz. I've also upped the NB voltage to 1.40 volts. Everything else is on auto. I'm also running two 8800GTs in SLi, and I've found that the strange behaviour get worse when I have SLi eeabled (which is a real bummer as it's the only reason I bought this board
)
The only thing I have't tried is updating the BIOS (currently 1203, which is old). But I'm a little reluctant incase i trash it completely.
Can anyone offer any suggestions??
Specs:
Asus Striker Extreme (BIOS 1203)
2 -4 GB of Crucial Ballistix (depending on when it works
)
Intel Q6600 2.4GHz
Noctua NH-U12F CPU Cooler
2x BFG 8800GT
2x Seagate Baracuda 500GB
Enermax Infiniti 650W
Antec P182 Super Midi Tower Case
Vista 64
