Well I have just finished my new PC and its running ok. Something really weird that is bothering me though. I cant seem to figure out why or what.

2205mhz = 245x9 (CPU-1.55v) Ram at 11-3-3-2.5 @ 2.6-2.8v ------- Will run 8 hours of prime, ran SuperPi 2mb without problems. Made a Memtest disc, looped it for about 4 hours at each setting, no errors at all. Ran a loop of 3dmark2001 for about 6-7 hours. So i try to close my machine down....Boom....get BSOD - IRQ_LESS_THAN_EQUAL. OK.....wtf....how does this pop up and I can benchmark it ALL night.....I know most say that Prime95 will show any weakness in CPU-Ram. In this case, i guess its not =(.

2196mhz = 244x9 (CPU-1.55v) Ram at 11-3-3-2.5 @ 2.6v-2.8v ----- Ran Prime95 for more then 8 hours, no errors in memtest, no errors in 3dmark2001 loop, ran fine. Every now and then I will get errors with MSHTML.DLL. I have been on going with this crap. I need my IE, so please dont even suggest Firefox....which I do have installed. I have been in contact with MS techs and have done just about everything other then removing my SP2 and reinstalling it.

2160mhz = 240x9 (CPU-1.55v) ram at 11-3-3-2.5 @ 2.6v-2.8v ---- Ran prime for about 10 hours, superPi, 3dmark2001 loop for about 8 hours. Still getting stupid MShtml.dll errors. I have tested everything in my system seperate and together. I just dont understand why, when everything is together, it doesnt want to work.

The only thing that bothers me is how my 6800 shares a IRQ with my on board LAN (Marvell one). I have this machine hooked up to another machine via crossover cable. I need to use both on board lans.

Im using the 5.10 Nforce drivers, have tried Betas.....using 71.25 Forceware drivers, have tried 66.93, 67.03, 71.20, 71.24. I have downloaded and updated my Audigy2 drivers. My Bios version is the newest off MSI site (1.4) and have tried 1.51B. Temps are great. I rarely hit 48C at load. 32C at idle. Video card temps are with in the 50-60C range. System is very well cooled.

My Athlon is

ADA3000DIK4BI
CBBHD 0447RPCW

Its a good week, most tell us that a week 45-50 are the best for hitting high Mhz.

My Ram is TCCD which has a 437 on the end of it...

Any thoughts.....?

:confused: What exactly is the question here - stability, LAN, RAM, ???

Yes i guess what im asking is why would it prime out for more then 8 hours and then as soon as I shutdown the machine I get a the IRQ error?

What would cause just MSHTML.DLL errors in SP2? IE was patched to a new version of this file and 99.9% of the info on the web pertains to SP1.

If Im prime stable at 2205, what measures would you take to stay there and to make sure its stable.

I think you might want to reformat. Go with a fresh install of windows.

Would there be a reason behind this?

This error has been happening for 2 different boards. 2 different installations of windows.

:D Really do not hope so, but a possible reason might be a HDD hardware error.
