Overclock problem

Brian Stuart · 2 May 2008 at 19:19

When running Orthos on the PC in my sig. it normally stops any-time between 17 minutes up to 8+hours. This is at stock :confused:

It was running just fine @475 X 7 until i had to RMA some Crucial Ballistix RAM. Now I am running 2 x 1GB sticks of double sided and 2 x 1GB sticks of single sided (the RMA replacement).
I occasionally get the BSOD with a variety of error messages.
I used Acronis to restore a clean image of Vista 64 but no luck.
Any advice welcome.

Have you run Memtest86+ with both kits installed?

It's quite possible that they are not fully compatible.

Also on this forum people are reporting the single sided chips don;t overclock as well as the double sided.

Therefore you have two problems: Incompatibility between the chips or the new chips not been as stable as the old ones at high clock speeds

I think that it is incompatibility as when Memtest86+ is ran with both sets of RAM it throws up errors but each set on its own is fine.

Maybe give your MCH voltage a 0.05v boost.

Tried that. Tried different voltages and FSB speeds. The thing that is baffling me is that Orthos crashes when everthing is a t stock.
