But if i load from "cmos reloaded", shut the mobo down after the bios is saved, discharge the mobo then boot up again, the fine delay settings are then the right ones and it sails through Orthos with no problem. I would be prepared to bet that a large number of the "cpu degregation's" we are seeing, are actually due to the wrong "fine delay" settings.
Hmm that's interesting and I'd love to explore that possibility more. You're my hero if you figure this out and I can apply a fix so that I can get it back to lower v. Not sure about it in my case as I had fine delay always on auto before and after the symptoms. Some of the settings I retested with came from cmos reloaded and some were manually entered.

I did however try about 40 - 50 tests before and after clearing cmos, re-flashing, a fresh windows install and fresh ram.

Also I never ran 9hrs, max of 2hrs for me.
