Hi all

My file server keeps crashing overnight. I get this message IRLQ NOT LESS OR EQUAL. My system is Windows 7 pro 64 bit, E6300, 4sticks 1GB patriot memory. AB9Pro mobo, WD 500gig system drive, 2x 2TB drives 3X 1TB drives in RAID5. 9600GT 512 MB video card. I recently changed video cards, but was getting this error before and after the change. Any ideas?

Sounds like you need more Vcore.

ok, ran memtest86, first pass=OK 2nd pass=fail, other than testing one stick at a time is there any way to figure out which stick is failing? BTW, why would I need more Vcore? i'm running everything stock!

^^^ If this doesn't help you, I'd bump the Vdimm a touch, and run Memtest again on both sticks. If you get another failure, there's no way around testing them 1 at a time. You'll have to remove all but 1 stick and test it, preferably overnight.

could also possibly bump mch voltage and see if it goes away the 4x1 sticks might be putting more stress on it.

ok, found the problem, all 4 sticks did not match
they all had the same part number, which is what fooled me, but 2 sticks had 4-4-4-4 timing and the other 2 had 4-4-4-12 timing, swapped them for matching ram and all is now good. Thanks guys
