I just tried running Prime95 and failed immediately... system specs are at the bottom... I'm going to run Memtest86 tonight to make sure it's not the RAM.

You might need to bump that up a little bit to be stable.

The only thing I'm concerned with is heat... although with my window open and a floor fan blowing directly on my heatsink, temps are pretty low

Sir Barton, I just hit 230x9.5 so I'm on my way... I tried 240x8 and got errors for some reason so i'll need to mess with it...

and by the way, what movie is your little image from? I know I've seen that before...

what kind of heatsink are you using. My sig is not stable at temp above 55 degrees under load. That is why I bought the latest thermalright SP27 to cool it down. Change your heatsink and you will get better results.
