Hi all need a little help configuring the settings of my bios. I have attached a few screenshots to show what my current settings are, at the moment I get a few random lockups which are very annoying.

I would be very grateful for any help setting up the bios.
thanks

As you're using all the DIMM slots on your MB you may need to push a bit more juice through the NB as you will be stressing the memory controller.

I would bump it up one or two increments (NB Core Voltage) and then test the system.

You may also want to try slackening the command rate (Command Per Clock) to 2T and then put it back to 1T if things become stable with the higher NB voltage.

EDIT: Oh, and welcome to the forums.

Thanks for the reply Plec, I will try that now

No worries - if you still have problems post back as your clock may need a bit of tweaking (i.e. manual set up).

You may need to manually input the core voltage and 'maybe' even drop a couple of hundred MHz as using all the DIMM slots can destabilise a clock that would otherwise run with 2 stsick.

But hopefully the NB tweak will even things out...
