i dont know what section exactly to put this in, but i am getting bsod 1a during a video game so i guess it should go in the gpu forum.

i get the bsod 1a, which i beleive is memory related, when playing batman arkham asylum. i am wondering if it is related to installing a second gtx470 in sli and not adjusting a voltage accordingly somewhere.

i ran memtest and had no errors after 2 passes.


this is my bios setting:


timings:

cpu i7 930 at 200x19 (3.8 GHz) qpi at 3600MHz; all power saving disabled

ram 6GB(3x2GB) ocz black 1600 at 2:8; timings-8, 8, 8, 24,72, 1t; xmp disabled

pcie at 100


voltages:

vcore at 1.2750

dimm v at 1.625

qpi pll at 1.150

cpu pll at 1.8250

ioh at 1.3250

cpu vtt at 1.300 (+200mv)

ioh/ich i/o at 1.5750

ich at 1.1750


the ocz xmp sets dimm voltage to 1.65 but i have it set to 1.625 and the evga eleet monitor reads it at 1.66, aswell memtest showed no errors with this voltage. it may also be driver related. i am running the 257 beta driver.

are any of my voltages too low/high?
 
Can you test your psu 12 and 5 volt rails while idle/load(playing the game)? If you have a dmm it's pretty easy.
What is your room temp?
Do you have "active cooling" on the sticks o' ram?
 
If this is only happening in one game, I wouldnt imagine it to be a PSU issue. I would think its a driver issue. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers yet to the newest 257.xx series?
