Hi guys,

I'm not new to overclocking, been doing it since my P133 days ;)

Anyhow, i've come across the strangest thing. I've added 4more gigs of G skill 2000MHZ trident ram but my machine becomes completely un-bootable when both kits in. I've booted successfully with both kits separately and the system has been prime 95 stable for my 3-4 HR test. So I'm not quite sure what is going on with the memory because both work it's just when it's in the board together nothing works as I expect. Any ideas?
 
Give a bump to your northbridge voltage or lower memory speed.

LOL I did not notice this was a p55 setup.

Same thing though bump "northbridge" voltage :) VTT/QPI PLL.

Besides the DDR3-2000MHz RAM, list the rest of your system spec's including the QPI/VTT voltage at the current 10x DRAM multiplier.
