New system arrived 2 days ago. Went for a OCUK prebuilt E6500 with 4GB Ocz DDR memory, G41 chipset on the Gigabyte board, system came with Nvidia 450 as well as used used the OCZ 500 PSU, so should be stable.

This system was ordered to play WOW, since yesterday its crashed with Fatal exception errors (code #132) three times, Windows is a fresh install, latest drivers are installed, no background software except for the audio manager and AVG. Aside from WOW, it has been completely stable so far, and overall very pleased with the machine.

Ive ran a memtest, came back with no errors. Seatools - all fine. However still had the problem. I did ran the wow repair tool this afternoon which fixed problems, but I havent run it for long enough to see if its conclusively resolved the issue yet.

One thing I am not sure about is the memory settings on this machine. The RAM, that OCUK fitted is stated to run at 1.65V, however in the BIOS it is configured at 1.5V - However I have not changed this as memtest passed this, In addition to memtest, I have also used Prime95 which also found no problems, so is it still worth upping the voltage?

Aside from this the system is running at complete stock speeds, any ideas ?
 
I remember a post on here a while ago, with the same problem on WOW with an OcUK pre-built system.

It seems to be only WOW that causes the problem. Increasing the memory voltage to stock volts wont hurt it as long as you don't go over.
However I imagine OcUK build a system to work, and do extensive research on building them to the highest of standards, thus my only guess is WOW.

I dont think there is anything wrong with the hardware in the system. Id sooner keep the RAM voltage as low as possible, however if it crashes again, I will increase it to the stated 1.6V

I might download 3D Mark and leave this looping as some futher tests, if WOW falls over again. Are there any other benchmarking / testing apps I could use to put the system through its paces?
