I have 2 sticks of llpt cas 2 v1.1 corsair ram and running um dual channel on my dfi infinity 2 board with a 2500barton. I used to be able to get 205*11 prime stable on the asus board i had. Now i cant get 205*10.5 or even 11*200. I have tried up to 1.9v to the cpu and given the ram up to 3.3v and the nb up to 2.8v. I have memtested without problems but prime constantly fails after very little time or MOST of the time the pc just cuts out (turn of) totally in about 2 mins of prime. What can i do?

I have a tagan 480w psu so no problem there and can have my cpu at about 45c full load with the windows open (i have a aura 7+HSH) so i dont think thats the problem.
 
Maybe your cpu is burned out? It happens, but usualy with a LOT more voltage. Try loosending your ram timings, and maybe reseat your heatsink.
 
No, its a different kind of burned out. Some cpu's overclock less and less over time, and eventualy can even run stock speeds without higher voltage because they are dieing.
