my bios settings are

fsb 1800 (8 x)
mem 800
v core 1.62
1.2v ht 1.75
v dimm auto
nb - 1.5
sb - 1.7
cpu vtt - 1.5

memory timings - auto

i am using two 8800 gts 512 mb in SLI

any help plz....
With the Dominator memory I would set the vDimm to 2.0v at a minimum and go up from there. Run memtest for basic stability testing before getting into windows.
