Ok, initially I was trying to over clock my system and I couldn't get past 2.4 (267x9) at 1:1. So I?ve reset EVERYTHING back to default and ran a few tests w/ default settings. Memtest+86 runs test #5 (ran test #5 five times) successfully. Next up was two simultaneous instances of Super PI mod 1.5 (16M each) and again completed successfully. Moving onto J. Lee?s SP2004 Orthos (Blend) I couldn?t get past say 20 minutes without the computer rebooting itself (at default settings - Vcore = 1.32V, Vdram was upped to 2.0V). Soooo, since the first two tests are memory intensive while Orthos (blend) also stresses the CPU besides the RAM. I?m thinking it?s a problem w/ the CPU, BIOS settings, BIOS itself or the MoBo. I think someone wrote BIOS 7/03 sucks. Any ideals before I give up on both the CPU and MoBo? I?m at a complete loss.
System specs are below:
DFI "Dark" P965-S (BIOS 7/3/07)
E4300 1.8GHz
Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 7 HSF
2GB OCZ PC-6400 (OCZ2P800R22GK) 4-4-4-15
OCZ GameXstream 700W
EVGA 7600GS 256MB (PCI-E x16)
2x250GB WD2500YS (SATA, RAID0, Stripe 128)
OnBoard Sound
OnBoard LAN
WinXP HE w/ SP2
Samy 203B
My plan is to flash the BIOS to the Sept. version and give that a try, otherwise swap out the CPU for a Q6600 and ultimately a Gigabyte P35-DS4 (rev. 3.0) MoBo.
