    I don't know what kind of FSB u are running at but if you are running 425 fsb+ with high memory clocks, I would suggest to test with 1,55V to 1,6V until you get the stability you are looking for.

    Personnally, at 450 fsb, I had to reach 1,6V NB to get my system stable... with 1,55V, I was sometimes getting memory errors even with my sticks at 2,24V and some games would hard-lock for no reasons... with 1,6V NB, I reached 8 hours P95 stable with my memory @ 2,1V I haven't tried lower than 2,1V but I will do tomorrow

    Thanks for the info. fsb is 400.

    The board has just gone wonky on me again. Even though i have gone back to my usual stable setting, it is giving memtest errors. Sigh.

    Use NB strap 400. Your DET DRAM getting stuck area will stop. I have the same issue, alond with many others, for some reason NB STRAP 400 seems to be the most stable. TRY IT! We have the same ram, same motherboard, I have been thru all these issues before, very anoying . Good board once you figure ouit all this crap.

    NB STRAP 400
    transaction booster ENABLED
    Boost level "0"
    DRAM statc read control - DISABLED
    Dram Voltage 2.16V

    Set those settings, and let me know.
    Nothing anymore
