Well I can run my computer perfectly(Prime stable) at 240HTTx10 at 1.5vcore with ram at 1:1 at 2.6vdimm(could probably do lower) with timings of 2.5-4-3-7. I ran memtest for over 17 1/2 hours at 2.5-3-3-7 with a vdimm of 2.5 and vcore of 1.45 and everything else the same and it didn't have a single error.
When I try to run 3dmark05 it froze or gives me errors and is unstable in games. What would this mean?

It means your memory is probably not the cause of 3d crashing. I'd look at lowering the LDT multi . Also you should up the agp voltage .1v (1.6) to see if that helps.

Also it could simply be a bad install of either the video drivers, directx, NForce, or 3dmark05. Are you overclocking your video card ? If so that might also be something that you should try setting to default clocks.

Are you sure the AGP is locked ?? you can check it with clockgen.

Well my LDT multi is at 4x. I can run 3dmark05 fine with my video card overclocked with the memory at 2.5-4-3-7. It's at 561/1120 which isn't that high. AGP lock is at 66mhz in bios(66.67 in clockgen).

tyr lowering the graphics card to stock and testing the psu with SnM psu test. Just run that and see voltage fluctuations. If they vary a lot from idle to load then its the psu.

Stepping info can't hurt.

1) run memtest # 8 for 10 loops to make sure all is really well (maybe). memtest stable != windows stable, can you pass 4m spi and OCCT basic test?

Usually those tight dreamy alpha timings fall apart in windows and have to be scaled back:bsod:
Give the mem a kick upwards to 2.7 just for grins, that small an amount shouldn't hurt anything. You can experiment w/ what to scale back after you get somewhere :D

Will check up here in the morning

Well my cpu is CBBID 0451. Ill run memtest #8 and get back to you.

I looped test #8 and while I was gone it did 68 passes at 2.6vdimm without a single error.

You might need to set AGP to 67mhz for the lock to actually work.

Clockgen reads it at 66.67 so I think 66 locks it as well.
