Muslim woman strangled by her burkha in freak go-kart accident

You know, I'd never thought people who wore Burkhas were particularly strong headed. Guess I was right.

Q6600 unable to run at stock speed

yea, I doubled the amount of TIM and put the tuniq back on. Nothing changed. I'm running this open case anyway so there's no way overheating is the issue. I really wish I had a spare cpu or mobo lying around, since as you put it, thats the easiest way to troubleshoot, but no such luck...

Q6600 unable to run at stock speed

Yea, as I thought this is almost certainly not a memory issue. Memtest shows no errors through 4 passes, around 3-4 hours. If I shouldn't flash my BIOS, where does this leave me? Is there anything I haven't tried yet? Or is it time to RMA?

Q6600 unable to run at stock speed

@Drsignguy, oh wow, looks like CPU-Z was telling me the CPDs things then. Still though, I was running them at DDR2-667, not DDR2-1000, so you'd think that would get me some slack on the TRAS. Yea, I was about to flash the BIOS, then reconsidered and checked this thread. Memtest is running off...

Q6600 unable to run at stock speed

@RanDum: According to CPU-Z, I'm running slower than SPD at 667, but I'll set it to exactly SPD. I'll disable EIST and flash the BIOS to the newest version. I don't have a floppy drive, so hopefully the thing doesn't crash mid flash... @flexy: Nah, its not XTC OCZ. its this: Text I've...

Q6600 unable to run at stock speed

oh wow, yea, too many problem sets and I can't remember numbers anymore. i meant 1.328, 1.312 and 0.016. I guess that means its not the MB? Still though, that driver CD was kinda fishy...I could just RMA both I guess?

Q6600 unable to run at stock speed

Alright, the voltage in BIOS was set to 1.325V. I ran it underclocked at 200Mhz and normal speed 266 MHz (took me in the area of 10 tries before I could get CPU-Z up and running @ 266, and it bluescreened, then restarted before I could read the bluescreen about 5 seconds after I loaded the...

Q6600 unable to run at stock speed

Yea, I put it up to 1.325V, and that still wont make it stable at stock speed. I just took off the Tuniq and looked at it, and while its possible i didn't put enough TIM on, I think my BIOS would show temps higher than 26C if I'd messed up. There was TIM spread around everywhere, but patches...

Q6600 unable to run at stock speed

Clips? my cooler has no clips or pushpins, its a Tuniq Tower 120. It's got a backplate and thumbscrews (Right? Am I being a dumbass here?). I'll try removing and reinstalling it anyway though. Thanks for the ideas so far, I appreciate you guys taking the time to reply to a random newb like me.

Q6600 unable to run at stock speed

running open case, processor at 23C, motherboard at 31C (Northbridge) running closed case, processor at 26C, motherboard at 35C (Northbridge) that's from the BIOS at idle. I'm trying to get SpeedFan or something installed on it, but it's not cooperating at the moment. EDIT: I've tried...

Q6600 unable to run at stock speed

Just put a new build together (1st time myself, but I've watched others do it before), and I'd been having troubles with it restarting/throwing errors all over the place. I decided, on a whim, to underclock it all the way down to 1.8GHz (200FSB @ 9 multiplier), and it magically decided to start...
