I either have to run DDR2-800 or take out 2 chips. I know the RAM is fine because it works in another motherboard using the nvidia 780i chipset. I've tried pumping the NB voltage and memory voltage with no success. I've tried playing with the AI settings and putting it to Light or Lighter. Tried higher performance levels, turning off spread spectrum. The system will BSOD with memory corruption every time any bit of load is put on it. I can crash it within seconds by running Prime95.
Does anyone have any solutions to make my RAM run at its rated speed? I'm not even trying to overclock. Although, I will say I can get to 3.6 Ghz on my QX9650 by raising the FSB to 400 and it's stable.
I also would love to see a modded 0602 BIOS for the P5Q Pro Turbo board but unfortunately I'm not an expert to be playing with it on my own.
