ASUS Striker II Extreme

We need some more info from you, what vid drivers and what bios?

From what I've seen, all the 790's have the SLI lockup issues but I fixed my problem with new Nvidia drivers.

Sorry, I've covered a bit of it above in prior posts. But if we're going to start directly working on mine, I'll post my specs. . .

Hardware overview
Intel Q9450 w/ Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme (no OC yet - Stability Testing)
Dual NVIDIA GTX 280 SLi (eVGA)
4GB Mushkin 1600 DDR3 7-7-6-18-1T (WinXP 64-bit)
Asus Striker II Extreme Motherboard
300GB Velociraptor
Creative X-fi Titanium PCI-E
Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W
Sony GDM-FW900 24" Widescreen CRT -- Best Monitor Ever!

Just last night, I wiped again and installed fresh:
Windows XP 64-bit
Video driver 177.41
nforce 15.17
X-fi drivers for PCI-E X-fi (only drivers currently available are on CD. No web updates yet.)

I have only the following installed on my computer:
SP2 and all Windows Updates (there is no SP3 for 64-bit XP)
Lord of the Rings Online
3DMark06
DirectX June Runtime Update from Microsoft.

That's about as "clean and pristine" as possible.

BIOS 801
Over time, I've gradually raised my voltages and settings to the following as freezing has persisted.
vcore: Default (not overclocking yet)
NB: 1.48
SB: 1.50
RAM: 1.86v (shows at ~1.90)
Timings: 7-7-7-20-2T @ 1333 (loosened up to rule out RAM) - Passes Memtest indefinitely. Though it did that at 7-7-6-18-1T as well. Just being safe.

Just last night, I raised NB to 1.52, SB to 1.55, and memory to 1.88 or 1.90 (can't remember), but haven't had a chance to play to test if these minor bumps helped.

Thanks for the interest! =)
