I have just upgraded to an EP45-DQ6 with a Q6600 and 8GB (4x2GB) 1066 Muskin DDR2 XP2-8500 DDR2 - Mushkin Enhanced
The rest of the system is the following:
PSU Thermaltake 1500Watt
8800GT
Thermalright True black 120 with 2 Noctua 120 fans (push-pull configuration)
Coolermaster Cosmos
3 HD (2WD and a Seagate)
NEC Sata DVD-Recorder
As my message title says I had multiple times looping restarts and freezes in Vista 64bit, especially when playing games. I haven't done any overclocking yet, everything is at stock speed. After reading similar problems in this forum I did the following things:
1. Flashed the 10a bios through Qbios menu. ( I had done this and in a previous attempt but during the rebooting it became corrupt and replaced with the ver 5 from the backup bios).
2. Used the EPP profile with Performance Enhance in Standard.
3. Pushed the memory volt to 2.1 (it is in the memory specs).
4. Configured PCI Express Frequency manualy to 100Mhz
5. I disabled the Legacy USB Storage Detect setting (even though I have external USB disks I found no diference before and after).
6. Installed Windows XP 64 bit :)
I have some instabilities when rebooting but not inside Windows. Is there something else I can do? I looked at the MCH Core, tRFC and Command Rate (CMD) values but I don't know if the ones i 've read are correct for my memory (MCH at 1.4 tRFC at 65-72 and CMD at 2 are the values I found in the forum but for 800Mhz memory).
Is there any posibility for overclocking or just leave it be?
