I also, I also think the board is to blame, but topboy, what is with all the suspense?
Yeah Yeah I know I've read about all these things now, I didn't make it my priority to read through every detail when I built the system, not only that theres countless posts about every detail at this point.

Coulda shoulda woulda, its all too late to say that about the situation now when this was done months ago and the fact remains it works fine regardless of the sequence used to do it. The first thing I did with this board was move the jumper to put the memory on the 5v rail, it worked fine and my board has been running perfect since, knock on wood.

I'm guessing the reason they say run the vdimm up is so that the power mosfet doesn't have to step the voltage down so far possibly causing damage or undue stress under certain conditions.

Anyways I probably did a bunch a things that weren't by the book but I have no complaints about the outcome, I actually have more fears of changing something that might trigger a problem.
