Abit P35 data corruption

Is anyone experiencing data corruption under vista x64 with Abit's P35 motherboards?

Isos give errors during instalation
Rar file give corruption error during unpacking

and lots of blue screens...
IRQ errors, memory managment, page files, bad pool, etc...

??
I am at a loss here...
pls help :mad:

Nope.

Sounds like your memory.

but they are new... only one month old

running the right voltage & timings for them.
It's certainly a highly unusual complaint for an IP35.

Try running memtest and see if it shows anything, i've had many IP35 boards that worked perfectly

does sound like a memory issue, make sure you're running sound voltage - c. 2.10v, and bash the non-overclocked version with some benchies to make sure you're stable. I'd add a Prime95v35.4 (or later) test to Talrinys' suggestion above.

Its a pretty decent board tbh, you really shouldn't be seeing data corruption with it.

(Grovelling apologies for pointing out the bleeding obvious, btw)

no guys u are right...

one of the memory dimms is faulty..

it even fails vista's memory test.

since I removed it, all the problems dissapeared.

I couldn't believe it, as I only clocked them twice to see how far they can go..
they went up to 1072 but anything above 1060 did produce faults.
Its wiered how easily they got busted.

I was convinced it was the psu not being strong enough to drive the motherboard
as I am using a hiper 520 with only 37 amps in th12v rails...

damn it... its the second pair I am frying..
had a corsair that went faulty as well

I think I am gonna turn to back to OCZ
I used to have a pair from them..(on a barton system) they weren't great clockers but very solid.
