I tried a bunch of BIOS settings, didn't seem to help tonight. I wiped Vista and just re-installed, I installed with only 2GB in (1 stick) and have yet to put the 2nd stick in and so far no BSOD. Far Cry 2 was guranteed BSOD in under 10 minutes I just didn't 25+ before closing it out, I've got the 1 stick in a black slot as opposed to yellow as well...guess I need to try stick #2.

Also I did CME=Performance. FSB VTT 1.2. NB 1.4V. Static DRAM read Disable, Clock Twister=Lighter, DRAM Read/Write Disable.

I garnered these settings from here in this thread, a post by a OCZ Rep., and a thread off a german OCing forum all relating to this board.


Oh and I did run a bootable memtest before changing all this and it did a full pass with both sticks 0 errors. Also tried Prime95 small fft and a run at large fft and no errors....we'll soon see if I am unable to use both stick of this ram kit, or if the yellow slots were bad juju...sorry for the long post.
