Ok, i went back and added my memory stuff. I hope its in order on that list, cause i only took a picture of the numbers, so i couldnt see the names, so i wrote them down in order...if that makes sense to anyone.

I also realised i was OCed to 1600, so i filled that data in.

Problem Description
Never ever had a corruption issue (touch wood), but i have never been able to use SLI without a freeze (in games, i can run vista as long as i like without freezing with SLI). The GTLrefs and voltages that i have there allow me to use one card with no freezing in games, but i still get freezes in movies, although it takes an hour or two. If i move those GTLrefs up or down, i dont get the freeze, but it will stutter when it would normally freeze for about, 1-2 seconds, then continue like nothing happened. With all settings Auto i get cant play games, as it freezes. Tried overclocking too, still no corruption but no improvement in SLI freeze, so ill just wait until ive solved SLI before i overclock.

Try the following settings:

[Warboy]

I get Memory Errors with the Settings you gave me Zowner. Testing with MemTest.

[BenchZowner]

Set the Memory Voltage to the original/previously working value and try again, because the two sub-timings that I told you to change cannot give you errors by raising them.

I'm trying 1.80v before bumping it back to where i had it.

[Coupa]

Try the following settings:

Didnt work :\

But it certainly helped.

With -43, -48, -48, -43 for GTLrefs i lasted alot longer then i usually do in CoH:OF, and in CoD4 it did the stutter instead of freeze once, then it froze about 20 minutes later, but still...progress.

What now do you think i should change?

So far, No lockups, Now if You could only help me get my memory at 1800mhz 8-8-8-24.

Problem Description
The problems i have is: PC freeze when i am playing warcraft 3, and age of conan(bouth after 30-90min's of play time) it have frozen a few times in windows while looking at the internet/streaming movies from youtube.

I am tryed running memtest and it freeze after 5-10sek of running the test, I have tryed Disableding "usb legacy support" while running the test no difference there.
please help.

[slim142]

You can try installing the latest drivers from Marvell's website ( I don't think that'll work though ).
The fact that you cannot install or run some software means instability though.

p.s. Do not install nVIDIA's MediaShield and Network Access Manager

Im starting to hate this pos, NOD32 will now install as well as SP3, but not the dam ethernet driver. Always gets stuck in the middle of the ethernet installation and will end up as not responding. Im almost running out of idead. Any will be greatly appreciated. What could be causing the ethernet driver to get stuck? SMBUS and IDE installs correctly...

Sorry BenchZ, BSoD when Windows XP was loading

From what I can tell you, this G.Skill sticks (and probably my motherboard too) dont like to have their advanced timings settings changed. I cannot run them at stock settings neither for some reason.

When at 1600mhz on memory, it locked up after about 12 hours up time.

I just tried the following settings and got so many memory errors, it was like a SMG.

[BenchZowner]

Your memory should be able to handle those timings & frequency ( unless it's not Micron D9GTR/D9GTS/D9JNL ).
It could be a FSB hole or "borked" divider.
Can't tell for sure before I test those settings with a Quad on my board.

I also got a Hard Drive Corruption at 1800mhz on memory

[BenchZowner]

If they were that unstable ( like you said errors coming out like the bullets of a SMG ) then corruption is possible ( and not sourcing from the "old" corruptions issue ).

*shrugs*

What could be making all these issues, Since I know people like Dino have gotten ram to 2133mhz.

Once again, changes/additions in red color:

Nop, no success that time, i really thought it woulda worked, i mean, that gave every piece of hardware way more juice then it needs. Oh well :|

Any other suggestion? Or just wait for new bios/drivers.

Edit: Hold off on advice for a while, these new drivers seem to be working.

still having problems, btw i forgot to say that it sometimes get stuck on the boot up screen and the "debug screen" says TEST MEM. do you think there is something worng with my memory? and is there any way to comfirm if there is any thing worng with them?

PS the PC have never been able to complite a memtest, the pc always freeze 5-10 sek within the test.

[BenchZowner]

Which Memtest version are you "using" ?
And which memory slots

[hexez]

Which Memtest version are you "using" ?
And which memory slots

the blue slots and memtest v2.01 floopy boot.

btw now my pc can't boot at all it get stuck each time on TEST MEM on the boot.
