UnOfficial Asus Rampage II Extreme Thread

Hi people,

I seem to have serious problems with my rig. I have OCed my 920 to ~4GHz (192*21). Passed Linx, OCCT, Prime95 and Orthos.
Also passed Memtest8+ V2.11 and HD Tune says all my HDDs have no bad sector/errors. Yet I am facing a similar BSOD always.
It reads PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA and sometimes it comes with disk.sys. My memory and hard drive have no problem
as shown by the tests mentioned previously. My OC also cannot be a factor as this problem has been persistent even before I
OCed my CPU. My memory has not been OCed and I AM RUNNING wIN xp X64.

aNY SOLUTIONS?

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA is most commonly a result of failing memory. However, as you have pointed out your memory checks out okay. Well, therein lies the problem. For the last four weeks I have been having issues with memory and it also checks out okay in all the test tools. Some members pointed to the PSU and said to try a different one, but I am having a really hard time accepting this as the source of the issue.

For me, what used to be my stable settings for booting 24/7 (1600MHz, 7-8-7-18-1T timings) no longer are stable, but only at boot. Every cold boot with it fails. Then I changed to 1600, 8-8-8-20-1T and that was fine for about four days, and yesterday I again got the cold boot hang at DET DRAM. I restored the 7-8-7-18-1T settings today, and booted only to lock up once I arrived at the desktop

Now testing the DRAM but so far so good. I am not expecting any errors to show up. I never had them show up before. All test tools always checked out 100% fine.

The longer I own this board the more convinced I am that it has some serious issues with DRAM. Either that, or it's just Corsair that for some reason is deteriorating on it. But, I am not about to go out and spend another $350 on a Mushkin kit to find out (always used them as I never had issues with them).
