Well, it's still happening and I've been running at STOCK SPEEDS for a week. I woke up this morning to a BSOD. All stock (266mhz fsb, all voltages defined, but set to their default values, except for the memory since it won't POST unless I go up near 2.25v)

What's really frustrating is that I've got 2 sticks of Crucial Ballistix ram, and after my BSOD, the pc will not even POST if I have both sticks installed (this happens sometimes, but not everytime I BSOD). The RAM tests fine, but I haven't run it for more than 1-2 complete tests in memtest. The big thing is that I've even had the RAM RMA'd once before.

Should I just try new RAM? Switch brands completely? Is there a known "good" pairing for RAM and this mobo? Will I always need to keep the RAM voltage bumped to 2.25v, or is that a feature of my Crucial ram?
I don't have Crucial RAM, but I always had great performance out of them many times in the past. I have some Kingston HyperX PC 6400. And, not know for the best OC with the chips on it. It is on the ASUS QVC list. I run it at 2.3 V for about a year. I read that this memory needs it to perform at or above specs on a few reviews. Rated 1.95 v.

First I had some Corsair 8500cs with this board. And, it did not perform as well as the less expensive DDR2 I have now. And, I am now running 4 sticks. I read on the Corsair forums that the 8500cs is not compatible with the P5b at anything close to specs.

I think if you have a problem at 2.25v, you could just RAM it again.

What is your trimmings?
