If I get hang up/no post then I turn puter off and then restart as sometimes the settings don't go into effect properly and a full power down (cold boot) is required and it works just fine. Once I get an error I go up one and run a 20 min test then move onto tweaking another setting. It's time consuming but has helped me with stability greatly on this board.
Just wondering but does running more than one test stress the comp more or do some tests just negate each other?

Say for example running OCCT on RAM and small FFTs in Prime95 or some other mix of tests.

Majoram and jonny_ftm. Thanks for the link to the new OCCT 1.2 beta.

But Majoram, you're right, I was using 1.1.1. In researching my issues on this thread I noticed mentions to 1.2beta, but couldn't find it. I must have missed previous links if they are in here.

I promise I'll test out the new OCCT and report back soon.
Cool. Been reading this thread a lot and unfortunately I don't know enough to help with the really tough stuff but good to know I was able to help this time.

After you recover, let us know how it goes! Good luck.
