Some notes on stress testing to keep in mind:-
*In XP/Vista 32b, 2GB installed, nothing in background, not even AV, I can never run plus 1450MB with any stress test, it'll fail at stock or just not run.
*If you start stress testing reserving an area of memory and then you open applications which try to access that reserved space, you will very likely start getting errors in that stress test, even though nothing hardware wise is wrong (even BSoDs).
Thx a lot for checking KTE.

I did a complete fresh install on my 2nd Raptor (had it only plugged in comepletely new, didnt even format lol). Right after I installed .NET 2.0, SB600 drivers from DFI site, went to MS page and did all updates (except for IE7, I hate that. Also deselected Outlook updates, dont use that). Then installed GPU and sound drivers.

After that, Prime95 25.5. OC'd CPU to 16x219 and ran Prime95. And it's still running . So most likely it was indeed faulty software stuff then. It's running 2.5 hours now, not super long so Ill keep it going over night. But it didnt last Prime95 so long in days so looks fine untill now.

To examine the issue... D9's not dieing, CPU looks to be fine. Same with mobo then, BIOS 1/30 most likely didnt corrupt the BIOS chip then. I start to think more and more it's due my RAM OC attempts. I had to repair Windows like three times a day due to corrupted/missing files (like NTLDR etc) after attempts. One time just as I pressed enter to log in I received a warning about corrupted registry. But didnt notice anything from that at that moment, but that could be a good candidate too for all the crap. But Ill see tomorrow morning if it's still going.

After that move a few files from old HDD to new HDD, install some games, OC to 14x251 RAM 1:1 4-4-4 again and have some fun. Ill just forget about running ram 1:1 293 then

...

Still I think it's the friggin Drive Strengths
