Hi,
So I've got my new rig installed and up and running both on Windows XP and Windows 7 RC. Both are on clean installs on two SATA hard drives that I have had from my previous build and both are clean installs.
I seem to have constant issues with setting the memory using the XMP Profile1 setting where the speed gets bumped to 1600MHz and voltage to 1.65v. However in Windows, either XP or RC7, the system constantly hangs.
I basically get the screen to freeze with no mouse movement after a while. I checked the event settings and nothing is showing. I am not sure if it if the memory alone since I've tested it with the Windows memory diagnostics in both normal and XMP profile and have also run Prime95 for a few hours under both settings without a problem. However the only time it seems to hang is when it gets bumped to the XMP profiles. Any ideas? Could it be the MB? Maybe the HD's are failing?
My setup:
Gigabyte EX58-UD5 w/ 9
Intel i7 920 (no overclocking)
Sapphire Radeon 5870 (Radeon_HD5800_8.66RC6 Drivers)
3 x 2GB Corsair Dominator TR3X6G1600C8D
Corsair HX-850 PSU
Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s
