I'll start of by saying hello te everyone I'm new to the Forum.
I know there so many questions on this board having the same problems as me, but I've tried everything I could think of.
Basically my XFX 790i is giving me stability problems. I have a 9450 quad-core not being overclocked at the moment, BGF GTX-280. Now the RAM is what I believe has been giving me the problems. I had Patriot Extreme perfomance DDR3 1333. I've tried many different timing setting and voltages. I did get increased stability with looser timing and higher voltages but 2 1/2 hours isn't exactly what i was looking for. I have taken that memory back and got the Patriot Viper Epp 2.0. Now the computer store screwed up and gave 1gb sticks instead of the 2 so I can't really test it since I'm running 64-bit vista. I will be returning those and going to newegg to get something other than Patriot.
I guess I'm just curious if anyone knows if EPP 2.0 is worth it, what RAM works good with this board, if it could possibly be my memory controller on the board, or it it could even be (please no) my processor?
I've been working this for 2 weeks now so any help is greatly appreciated.
