Well, Fatman's settings did not work for me at all. I then got pissed off and just put random (liberal) voltages through everything but the Reference voltages which I set to auto, and for some reason I managed to boot in windows, and have been priming for 10 minutes.....

I would still like someone to explain what's going on here, because I want to actually understand what I am doing.

Anybody know what the max safe voltages are for the motherboard and the quad? I still have that image of the VPLL at 1.85 V in my mind.

i'm guessing ur using ET6 to overclock??? dont, just go into the bio, and change setting, and dont use ET6 and see if u still have troubles. btw: pll 1.85v is high, 1.65v pll should be more than enough for the clock u r trying to run
edit: i never used ET6, maybe try uninstalling it than using the bios to oc, also when it is turning on and off it means failed to boot, failed oc and it trys to recover with stock bios settings, did u mean your mobo boots after this with different voltage everything and way off stock???
