Need help settings bios on ep45-ud3r

[gmoney]

Im having major issues with my system crashing when trying to play counter strike and other games. I have been reading alot of threads with people having the same issues in games with this set up.

I can run counter-strike on normal settings with bios set to optimal settings for around 10-20 minutes average. I have my video card running under load @ 40c.

Scenarios: a) playing counter strike until freeze then goes to blue screen stating either memory or nv4_disp
b) freezes up during counter strike play boots me out of game and shows a notice stating "nv4_disp driver has stop responding"
c) just freezes up during regular window applications.



Heres my set up:

GA-ep45-ud3r
E7300 core 2 duo
ocz2rpr10662G (sticker on side reads 5-5-5 @2.2v)
evga 9800gtx+
western digital 250gig 7200rpm
pc power & cooling 500watt silencer.
Windows xp sp3
Nvidia 180 (brand new drivers)

Optimal settings loaded :
memory reads 5-7-7-20 @ 1.8v stock

HELP!!!!!! THIS IS MY FIRST GIGABYTE BOARD.

Re: Need help settings bios on ep45-ud3r

I haven't tried messing with the advanced timing control, i think this may be the reason i cant get it stable. This is my first gigabyte board and i have been reading forums which lead me to the conclusion i just dont know how to work this ep45-ud3r
