help :(

I recently had PC problems (2 weeks ago) when I was getting BSODs (Kmixer.sys) and all sorts. It turned out to be my CPU and motherboard. I got a replacement motherboard from RMA but OCUK said the CPU was fine. I took this into account and tried it again, but still the same problem with BSODs. I stuck in my E6600 and it has been stable for 2 weeks with no problems. I purchased a NEW Q6600 and Case and just installed it, and to my believe it is still doing it... I don't no how since It is a completely new mobo and CPU

I did have some joy with the new Q6600 + Gigabyte P35C_DS3R until I had a lot of work lode on desktop and in comes the BSOD. The problems made me format and it continued to BSOD in the middle of installing Windows so I stuck my E6600 back in and is stable as anything...

Hopefully I can get my money back and order a new Dual Core because this is puzzling me

Up the voltages a tad?

Hughsy · 30 May 2008 at 23:06

Voltages are 1.35 but I have the E6600 back in now. Having 2 Q6600 do exactly the same is troubling.

Toubling as it makes that being the problem very unlikly?

Mobo undervolting it? Memory issues?

What BIOS revision you using?

Hughsy · 31 May 2008 at 14:20

Is the board setting it's multi to 9x properly?

I had issues on the same board when it was putting it to 8x.

Hughsy · 31 May 2008 at 20:45

I have had it at 8x425 and have done for months with no problems until now

It sounds like RAM voltage issue.
