what he is suggesting is a possibility

i bet you right now that none of those ppl used memtest to check RAM
i corrupted the drives on really tight timings past 2GHz on ref board and i know that it is RAM related 100% >>> i didn't have a memset handy lol but those OS installs were really old anyways so i wasn't bumed about it as i was gonna do some reinstalling on benching drives

reason i say that is that i've seen someone post for example that they booted cellshocks (back off saaya just using an example with an actual post so don't go PMing me about it ) at stock settings and board was picking up the SPD at high clocks (900MHz) at tight timings (8-7-6-x 1T) with ONLY 1.5vdimm >> same thing would apply to say corsair 1800 CAS7 sticks if the bios was booting at those settings with 1.5v......bios should select 1333 CAS9 for initial boot if RAM is not EPP2.0 ready

that is a recipe for an OS corruption right there if you attempt to boot into windows
