i have formatted twice, tried different matrix versions, nothings fixing it

You can load updated iastor drivers during the initial install stage. Also, could be a bad oc.

is the problem well known then? when i turn on my pc in the morning from a cold boot, i get 3/4 bsods within 5/10 mins

reinstalled vista twice, and tried 3 different versions on matrix drivers.

its not my overclock as it does it with everything default


I wonder if its worth an rma, no doubt having to pay for the postage to send it back to me as there were "no faults"

This is an old problem and easily solved.
Your ram is NOT compatible with the board.
The only Crucial ram compatable is PC 5400, swap your ram out and I'll bet the problem is gone.

Possibly. i changed the CPU GTL Reference after noticing it at 0.63x, so i changed it to 0.67x.

so my CPU GTL REFERENCE is 0.67x
and my NB GTL REFERENCE is also 0.67x

Possibly???

It has a direct influence on stability so does CPU PLL

wrong gtl's and the chip is very hard to stabilize

Hi, i need help!!!

I can not stabilize my system to 3.6. I want to help one and a guidance if with some setting wrong.

The computer starts the windows and then crash or restart.

leave everything alone but the multi, drop it to 7x450 and see if it boots, this will eliminate a FSB wall
Post back with your results
