thank you for your bios settings

unfortunately those are not working for me - not even at 500 or 450 MHz FSB.

every time I try to go above 400 MHz FSB / RAM the system won't boot showing me the "Memory Detection Test" error (red-red-green-red status LEDs).

I'm pretty much out of options as of how to get my board above 400 MHz as I tried countless different settings of voltages, fsb/ram dividers and ram-timings.

how do I figure out if I have a faulty board or RAM or even CPU?

my specs again:

MSI P45 Platinum (exactly the same as above)
Intel E8400 (Q810A037)
2x 1GB OCZ PC2-9200 Reaper HPC Edition
