My computer's been running very stable at 3GHz so far, but every time I boot up my computer after leaving it for a while, it either won't POST (so I have to clear CMOS) or Windows fails to boot. I've been slowly upping voltages every time this happens, but I'm wondering if this is normal behavior. I don't remember the exact settings offhand (might be off by a couple thousandths), but I'm pretty sure I'm running 1.25v NB, 0.831v CPU GTL, and 1.223v FSB Term.
Edit: Still having trouble booting up after the computer's off for a while. It either doesn't POST or Windows won't boot. I'm up to 1.25v NB, 0.84v CPU GTL, and 1.225v FSB Term. Don't want to go any higher with FSB term because my cpu is running at 1.225v. Not really sure what the deal is with this problem; settings work great at first and later stop working altogether, like the hardware is degrading every time I run it.
Edit 2: And the random reboots are back. I guess I'll try messing with NB and CPU GTL voltages some more, but am really getting discouraged about this boardset. My computer can pass memory tests and survive long gaming sessions and stability tests, but it just keeps crashing under normal use and is unpredictable when booting up. The similar problems other people have and overall lack of success stories (sans loonym :P) is making me wonder if I should jump ship for another board. I've yet to experience stability with any setting on this board, stock or otherwise. :/
