grr,ive had it with this chip.

1. check you are running the correct voltage on your RAM
2. If you are running 4 sticks take 2 out and see if you still have issues
3. You say you are running at 800mhz on the RAM but have you lossened the timmings? If its C4 RAM run it at 5-5-5-23 and at 2T command rate (or whatever the gigabyte board calls it) also ensure you have ALL RAM performance stuff disabled
4. If non of that helps run memtest

If none of the above help and no errors on memtest then thats your RAM elemintated.. would also ensure that you do the following:

1. Set your PCI-E to 101
2. Try from 380 FSB up... test the stability at each MHZ you may just have an FSB hole on board
3. If you have anything else on the board (on board lan / sound etc...) then disable it in the BIOS
4. Does the board have two seperate 4pin connectors that need power? If so then make sure they are plug'd in

well according to those screen shots your RAM is running @ 1.856v not sure if thats enough juice... would check what volts it needs to run.. most is fine at around 2.1v but best to double check and then increase the DDR2/DDR3 Overvoltage Control

just got this info from ocuk memory section

800MHz RAM Speed, CAS 4-4-4-12 Timings, 1.8-2.2v VDIMM
Click to expand...

Bump it up to 2.1. Also, consider that it's summer and ambiant temps are up -- it's there allot harder to be stable at 3.6.
 
ok ive got my ram running @ 2.1V but in the bios,im using the voltage that flashes red,is that ok or is it a no go zone?
 
2.1 is fine for ddr2 dimms, can you take a screenshot of all the settings in your motherbaord tweaking part, then we can give you a few guides and settings to try.
 
The solution is REALLY simple, and no idea why no one has mention it.

NOT ALL Q6600 DO 3.6ghz on low volts !!!
Same as not every E8400 does 4.0 on stock.
And not every E2180 clocks to 3.4ghz .

You might even find a Q6600 that won't even do 3.2, and there are quite few of them.
3.4 - 3.5 is still very good, live with it or buy E8400 / E8600 .

Simple as that...
 
cpu host freq:- 400
PCI-E:- 101
ram at:- 800mhz
CAS5
RAS to CAS5
Precharge5
precharge delay 15

voltages ddr2 +3
PCI-E +2
FSB +2
MCH +3 maybe more

Leave the cpu as it is.
 
My G6600 G0 needed a fairly hefty bump in CPU PLL voltage to 1.65v to get it stable @ 3.6ghz. I also needed 1.55v on the core even though it does 3.2ghz on only 1.375v - guess that might be related to the 1.325 VID.
