Triend 1600 Linked and Sync'd (7-7-7-18 2T @1.9V), looks like corruption. Could boot into safe mode just fine, but could not get into Windows. System log just had tons of NTFS errors, which means corruption.

So, I'm back to a base Vista x64 install and went out this morning and picked up Acronis.

I'm using nForce driver version 9.64, Forceware 177.83. I thought this corruption non-sense ended with 0802! What I don't understand is how wacked out this board is. Two nights, reached 1800 Linked and Sync'd, now I can't OC a thing without getting corruption. I do have two partitions on my boot drive, but I cannot believe that would be causing any extra hassle.

Thoughts?
I would make sure your RAM is working.
Then, make sure you dont give them more than 1.84vdimm in BIOS (1.90 real), this kills RAM for sure.

Its also SPI 32M stable. Also, as you see in the Intel burn test, the residue is the same across 10 iterations.
Thats some nice results, if you could have those timings at 8-8-8-21, it would be just amazing.
Make it 24/7 stable and you got yourself some golden hardware.
