Somebody help me please, try and try and NOT work..

Sorry for the late reply today, I have had a few things going on that has kept me offline!

Please give me a link to your ram, or the page you bought it from. 2.2-2.3 is not likely needed, that is the warrantied voltages. Anything over 2.2 I advise you put a fan directly on the ram as it is going to get hot and die very quickly if you do not. 2.1 will likely be plenty.

MCH Voltage is likely your issue, and maybe a bit more CPU Voltage as your vdrop and vdroop bring that under stock VID so you may need a bit more.

And of course, your ram may not run stable at that high speed being 2x2. I also do not see anyway with your FSB at 377 that you could be using 1136 as your ram speed. I suppose you mean 1131 (3.00+ x 377) (I know, just saying)

That is on a Very tight Northbridge Strap and you likely could never get that stable using the 266/1066 strap. Try the 1333 or 1600 straps. Use a memory multi with B or # for 333/1333 strap and no letter for 400/1600 strap. That will allow your Northbridge to run at a faster speed with looser timings and help you get your ram stable maybe at that speed. And yes, there will not be a 3.00 multi on the 333 strap, so you will need to use a different multi with a slower ram speed or change your FSB and use a different multi for the same speed

So try this for what you had above as far as CPU Speed >>>

Un to 1.4000??? is equal ---1.3440 in windows but ''the minimun'' down in full is 1.3280..

the is important no?


The system runs ''OK'' in test a 1110 Mhz 5-5-5-15 , but in some games ''fail'' ''''The controller of screen I stop working but I recover''''--->>WTF ¡¡¡

And stop the OC and leave in my old settings...

Need the +1 IN PCI??????? sure sure???? I am afraid to damage it
or need more vcore???

I think that I need more vcore,I do not want MORE Mhz in my core... 3000 Mhz is OK..
I need to make the memory stable as this one now 1110 Mhz.. no need more speed ;-)

Thanks ¡¡¡¡¡¡



Link the my RAM

http://oc.adata.com.tw/1_product_det...?pid=AD21066EU

Have a fan On my memori. is ''cold'' XDDD very cold..

My temps--->>

Cpu-->> 28º
Mother-->> 40º
HDD-->>36
HDD2-->>34
GPU-->>56º Stock cooler 9800gtx standard NO OC EDITION

Have a TX 750 corsair :b

Need ''realy is'' Bandwidth 3000 Mhz in CPU is OK for me, and 1110 or 1200 in my memory

If cannot run 1110 o more... Then need MORE fsb and MORE Mhz in CPU... no???


Thanks for help Sr is very important for me


can try 430*7--->>>3010??????

max MCH in my mother is +3 :S.... no damage???? is extreme voltage?

[Lsdmeasap]

Yes PCI +.1 is fine

You need to use all the highest ram timings I gave you until you get stable. Yes, you can use +.4 on your ram it will just be hot for sure so add a fan over it. What you see on the ram sticker for spec's is warrantied voltage, not always what is needed

And yes, you likely need more vcore as 1.34 may not be enough and 1.312 at load may be worse. Which may be why you crash in games.

So please set all timings I gave you to the highest and then see how it acts, if not good then please add more Vcore. Your CPU is fine for sure and you should not worry until you get into 1.45+ in windows (Which you for sure wont need)

You will have much better luck with using a memory multiplier without a Letter/symbol on it, or use a smaller one as your ram may not run that fast and be stable at all

[ADDIER]

Why showme this error¿¿¿

''''The controller of screen I stop working but I recover''''--->>WTF ¡¡¡

Vcore??
o Pci-e????


Thanks sr and good day

[ADDIER]

No work ¡¡¡ always in 10/15 min playing show

The controller of screen I stop working but I recover

Why????? drivers?? or what??? please tellme

[Lsdmeasap]

Yes, that is Either drivers or Your card may be overheating, could be volts but more likely not.

Does it do that at stock CPU/ram speed when you game? If so it is likely the driver or card overheating.

Have you tried turning up the cards fan speed, often Default fan speed are too low on some cards. You can use ATITools (yes it will work for Nvidia) or Rivatuner to set fan speeds. If you have Nvidia you should also be able to change fan speeds in the Nvidia control panel. What card do you have anyway, and are you using the latest BIOS?

[ADDIER]

No no my card sr is cold.... 70º full 49º Idle.... i think the drivers is a problem , why ''alwayls'' show ''nvdmnvd'' fail this is a driver no??????

Or show ''kernel32''...o 'Crysis.exe' olga play crysis war and NOTfail in this game only fail in ''crysis'' and ''crysis warhead''

yesterday play whitout overclock and NOT fail... but reinstall a 178.24 drivers Not that could be..
My card is 9800 Gtx, never flash my card have a stock bios :S...

-----------------------------

Try up only a FSB (333*9--- 1066) (33*9--10**) and FAIL, NO SHOW BLUE SCREEN.... only reset, but the ''settings'' no reset...

I am sad believe that this motherboard is very simple, not work ''OK'' extreme Vdrop/vdroop and ''simple settings'' in V ....

Change my board????????? :-( :-(

That thinks--- Ga Ep45-Dq6??????

Does it do that at stock CPU/ram speed when you game? If so it is likely the driver or card overheating.

No Sr not fail in stock settings

[Lsdmeasap]

Ya that is the driver you mention that is crashing. If you are using incorrect memory settings or voltage settings in the BIOS that could cause it as well. Did you try the suggested settings I gave you yet for ram and voltages?

It is not the board, all the settings you are using. P45-DQ6 will need the same correct settings

Since it does not fail at stock, but does at overclock settings that means your settings are still not correct. You need to try again and get them all set manually for sure

[ADDIER]

My settings--->>
Test ''other'' multiplier and FAIL... always fail retur to defaukt settings in (1000,1035,1135,1200,) only 1110 works but showme this error :(

Try whith more ''V'' and NO :(

Run OK in 333*9 1066---- more OC FAIL in games no in test...

That I select configuration is it necessary photos? the my bios????

Tri again whith new driver...

Thanks

PD: Try use this setting a ''extreme fail XDD'' mother ''piiiii piiiiii piiiii piiiiii piiii' and off.. :b
