Is this normal :S

My CPU doesn't seem to be running stock...Even after i put BIOS to default. The only thing i have done is disabled Speedstep.

333MHz is the stock bus speed ,your cpu is slightly overclocked. lower the FSB to 333mhz to get it back to stock,

You need to drop the FSB to 333mhz, some boards auto overclock by a few MHZ, my Abit IP 35 PRO does this.

Strange, I'll leave it at that as long as it is safe?

RJC · 6 Nov 2008 at 17:30

It will be safe, are you not going to overclock further?

I'm having a few problems with the sytem at the moment, spending a lot of time on the phone with Tech support. Think i might have a faulty Mobo. Keep getting random BSOD's and freezes. Checked the memory and GFX card and both are fine. All temps and voltages are fine.

What is the system spec, Memory voltage & timmings set correctly in BIOS.
Edit: If you have been speaking to tech support you might have already covered the above.

Asus P5QE
Gainward HD4870 512mb
OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 800MHz SLI-Ready Edition Low Latency Dual Channel DDR2
Corsair HX 620w modular PSU

How do i no if the memory timings are correct? Sorry i'm picking all this up as i go along, little bit of a newbie.

Here's a bit of Memory info:

Well your memory is DDR2 800MHz (400MHz x2), so using the 400MHz column, compare it with the "memory" tab.

Actually the SPD timings look wrong. Going by the OCuK website, they should be:

CL 5-4-4-15-2T (CAS-TRCD-TRP-TRAS)

So compare the above with your "memory" tab.

Does this help fobose:

In the bios change VRAM voltage to 2.0 if it is not already.

MattHep · 6 Nov 2008 at 18:49

I've changed the voltage to 2.0 it was on auto before.

fobose · 6 Nov 2008 at 19:19

From the SPD ratings your memory is running at the correct timings, but I haven't seen any "CAS 6" DDR2. Do you still have the packaging the ram came in? That often has a label on it with what the timings should be, I would check that to be certain (if not, and you're able to see the label on the ram itself inside your PC, use them instead).

Seems it should be CAS 5, as indicated above.

MattHep · 6 Nov 2008 at 19:41

I have changed the timings to

5-4-4-15-2T

And the voltage to 2.0v

Is there anything else i should consider?

Right ive caught the Problem on camera:

This is after around 10 mins of crysis
