Striker II Extreme(0507)
QX9650(L739A732).
OCZ3P16002GK
TRUE 120 with SLFEX

I left everything on auto except for FSB linked and synced with the RAM. Sometimes if I go over 350 FSB, it gets stuck on "Code Init" and I have to do a hard reset???. Should I RMA it or is there anything else I should try. Please help. I spent so much of money and time only to get frustrated.


It runs fine with everything @ default 12 hours prime stable and 1M and 32M SPI stable. I don't think it's my RAM as I tested it with "Unlinked" with FSB @ 1333(default) and the RAM @ the rated speed(1600 @7-7-7-20 1T 1.9V) and 12 hours prime stable also no errors in Memtest.

Have you had that hardware on any other motherboard that you can compare with?

It seems like either the motherboard's fault or a bad clocking CPU, but it would be ideal to test the CPU in a known good motherboard or a Known good CPU in your motherboard.
