fatguy make sure your not setting performance level too low for any givin strap.sometimes when i switch straps i forget the PL setting.
How do we change PL on BIOS? Performance Enhance i think...
I don't know that board enough. But CPU Clock Drive-PCI Express Clock Drive-CPU Clock Skew-MCH Clock Skew and Reference voltages are key factors for lowering voltages and increasing stability.
