BTW that bclk wasn't even 1/100th of a way close to stable. can't run ANYTHING that puts a load on, except IE....tried to run prime blend and it rebooted the instant i pressed "start." I'm not exaggering when I say "instant." And boy, did trying to load minecraft cause my x-fi to emit the most horrible screeching noise you ever heard (computer turned off automatically a second later).

Tried raising VTT to 1.2v...didn't help.
Tried VTT at 1.1v, VCCSA at 0.975v, and XP didn't even finish loading... lol?
