Have you overvolted for long? If so, you may have toasted the memory. As for why it works ok with a Duron and not with the XP, I can't say for sure, but perhaps the XP stresses the memory more (uses more bandwidth). Not too sure about it though.

On many boards setting it to turbo will cause stability issues, try setting aggressive timings manually. What xp cpu are you using and what is the stepping? How much vdimm were you feeding it?

well i treid a diff stick of ram (extra 256 pc 2700 ) and still no turbo , i wasnt overvolting the ram cuss i never needed 2 i think this new 1011 bios is the culpritt cuss it never used to do this on 1006

the cpu is a xp 2000+ and the stepping is AGOIA (Y)
