Hi Guys, A little bit of advice please.

Built myself a new rig;

Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
Gainwood 8800GT
4GB OCZ PC6400 platinum
Hyper Type R 580W

Clocked it, and 50% of the time from a cold boot (left overnight and day) it looses all my preset FSB settings. It will start up for around 4 seconds, power off for a couple of seconds, come back on for a second or two, go for a second or two and then fire up as normal with stock FSB. Voltages do not change, only the FSB and memory timings (if I manually set them)

BIOS is Version F6 (2007/10/29)

I followed the Gigabyte guide found here

CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E), CPU Thermal Monitor 2(TM2), CPU EIST Function all disabled

Voltages have been upped;

.3v to Memory
.1 to fsb
.1 to MCH

Vcore voltage has been left stock or 1.35, im fairly sure it was doing this when it was higher (1.4) too, but cannot confirm.

System Memory Multiplier is 2.00

FSB has been between set @ 400/410 and 415 all @ x8, all stable with 8 hours of CPU testing in Orthos. Idles temps areound 45 and load around 65.

I have tried manaully setting memory timings (4-4-4-4-12) or leaving them @ auto (5-5-5-5-15) and it makes no difference.

I have read that the 'legacy usb support' sometimes plays up, I have diassabled this and still the problem exists.

Any ideas/pointers guys?

Cheers
 
Matt - have you tried leaving the memory timings on Auto?

Im @ 3.6GHz not (thermalright ultra 120 Extreme now installed) and so far for the last couple of days its all been good, but time will tell.

Memory is @ 5-6-6-17 according to CPU-Z. Is that a bad thing?
 
A little update that maybe of some use to someone. I have romped the Processor upto 3.6GHz and left the memory timings on auto. Has been fine for a while so then manually set the memory timings to 5-5-5-15 and again has been behaving itself :)
