Problem Description
I recently build this machine and i had been constantly and randomly freezing, until i found this thread and i changed the settings you marked in red, and now it freezes less constantly, but still randomly. Sometimes it will run like a champ for 10 hours, or even 2 days without a freeze, but then all of a sudden something will set it off and it'll freeze 5 times in 10 minutes, and then run smoothly for hours immediately after. I have had this problem for a little over 3 months now and have fiddled a good amount trying to get lucky, but after your settings helped so significantly, i am hoping you can help me get this machine running like it should, thanks a lot.
Also, i have 2 more sticks of ram that i would like to snap in there, but when i do, it usually freezes during the boot, idk if vista x64 or this board support 8gb or ram, but just thought i'd ask because you seem to be a wizard. Thanks again
