Lightman, are you doing all this on your DQ6 mobo?

When mine was replaced I fired it up went into bios for about 5 secs - Freeze.

Now when I go into the bios I do whatever I have to as fast as I can and try to save it before it freezes. Sometimes I have to reset 5-10 times just to set a voltage. There is no way I can go in and twiddle around with ram timings or anything that takes some thinking over.
But in windows (Vista 64) it's as stable as a rock.

Just wondering if it might be the motherboard My 1st one didn't play up like this.

I see you're going to try a K9A2. I would be interested to hear the result.

Yes, I'm running all on DQ-6.

I had BIOS freezes with first (faulty) 9600BE and to some extent with my 9500 on early F3A/B revisions.
I did try my new 9600BE @2.2GHz and it's stable. Anything above it's NOT (regardless of voltages)!

What is wired is that the other Phenom 9600BE (MPMW 0750) is stable up to 2.42GHz on my mobo as well as my first 9500 .

I'm going for a long trip tomorrow so probably test on MSI will need to wait till Saturday morning. Then we will know more
