I moved the ram timings out to 5-7-7-18 and upped the volts to 2.16
(they are rated at 533mhz, 5-5-5-15 @ 2.1v)
So i might try 6-7-7-18 later on when i get home

Any ideas peoples?

I've always had a suspicion my ram wasnt totally happy as i set it to what the EPP says in CPU-Z and it never posted.
Maybe they are angry at me hehe
Break it down to testing the ram and cpu separately.
Test with memtest and see if it the ram. Let it go to 1000% if you can. I've had errors show up at 500-600% and prime was failing after long periods.
