and the CPU menu it is all disabled
I really have no idea what I'm doing wrong... CPU is cooled with TRUE 120 and Scythe fan. Temps are fine even with 1.4 Volts.

Rest of the system...

2x2 Gig Corsair 4GB (KIT) DDR2 1066MHz, XMS2-8500
750 W Corsair PSU.
Antec 1200 Case
2 SATA HD (not raid)
8800 GTS 512 MB
IDE DVD burner
Vista Ultimate 64

I'm testing with Orthos for stability and the poor thing is failing. 4 gig is no go sadly. Tried lowering multi but still 4Gig is impossible to pass. RAM passes memtest in every possible way up to 1000 FSB haven't tried higher. No idea what to do and what to try. Latest drivers and BIOS ofc
