interesting, never heard of that psu, so a bad stick?

i think he said there are bad dimm slots...?

Anyway, at least you found the problem, what are you at now?

No idea... the BSODs kinda stopped.

I don't know if I found it. Maybe XP fixed itself?

Right now I am sadly at stock, because I want to run Orthos tomorrow for a couple hours at 2.13GHz to see if EVERYTHING is 100% stable.

Or maybe not.

Grats on a upgrade (temporary or not)

see my sig and click on the link, then you will see how powerfull it is!

the ram is really holding you back, i'd advise to get some of this ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231065
and really start oc'ing.

gl with everything else.

Yeh the 7600GS isn't much more powerful than your 6800 Ultra you had before...but it does consume alot less heat and energy, plus should overclock nicely. Hopefully to 7600GT speeds.

Why might you not get to keep it?

2.66GHz seems perfectly stable. I might just do the 1333MHz bus mod.

Poor memory is working on a 375MHz, with a 8:9 ratio 5-6-6-31-21 2T. (*wolf whistle*)
Next step: 3GHz stable. I know I can.

That memory costs exactly half of this whole computer!

So far I get a 20% better video card. Going to test oblivion on this next. Hopefully the times of 15FPS will be gone.
As for not keeping, I might not sell my old PC.

Getting near 70C on a B2 is going to cause problems as well imo. You would like to be under 65C at the most with full load from Orthos dual prime95. Try to get a better heatsink if you can.

Currently 75C at 2.9GHz stable. Should I shut it down? When does it start throttling?
