Unfortunate you didn't get good results with the P7N Diamond but I know it oc's very well because I do get good results and I've read lots of good results from others in this and other forums. It really took a lot of tinkering and learning the kind of weird bios though, not for the impatient, gimme results now crowd.

Bababooey, I wouldn't put too much faith in the ps efficiency readouts in hw monitor. It's really only been kinda sorta accurate in 1 or 2 bios releases I think. Don't stress over it. Have you tried clearing the cmos to solve the stock speed problem? Are the settings all bios defaults when you get the blue screens? If so it might be your ram settings need to be set up manually.
