Hi Everyone, im having dificulty selecting the advance timings needed to run my 8gb Config. Gigabyte EX38-DQ6 and C2D E8400.
I can get a 4ghz clock with the settings below, but windows is very sluggish, almost as if something is bottlenecking the system. For example, take the startup programs in the system tray as an example. Instead of loading fast, one after another (which is what happens when i set my PC to the stock 3ghz and DDR 800. The icons take ages to load, then 1 or 2 load, then another one 10 secs later and another one say 30 sec after the destkop has loaded. Not really normal for what should be a 4ghz Beast!
In addition to this,although i can set the below bios profile,reboot and use it fine (all be it sluggish), when i randomly need to restart my pc again, for some reason the board doesnt cope with the settings and re-boots resetting the bios (i gather this is the quad bios feature, where it halts, reboots, tries again, halts, reboots etc. Its strange because it seems to work fine when i set the clocks again in bios, but maybe 3 reboots later, it will reset again. Its annoying to say the least.
All i am really looking for is running a stable 4ghz with RAM at 1000 and a 3ghz profile with Ram at 1066. Any help apreciated, to put me out of this 3 month agony!
Due to previos experience, i decided when i bought my PC components to get memory that was verified to work. GSKILL have tested the EX38 with 8GB of this RAM fine, but i have yet to receive a response from them. Here is the PDF of my RAM showing the EX38 Being verfied with my F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ's : http://www.gskill.us/145.pdf
Here are my settings for both 4GHZ and 3GHZ. Default settings are in brackets.
Any assistance of what to change would help.

As you can see the 3ghz settings are different from the 4ghz, theres no reason for this, ive just been fiddling around.
At the moment the 3ghz settings wont post at all, if i set memory to Auto with either of these configs, it gives be 7,7.7,21 settings
Thanks for any help

I can pass everything else like IntelBurnTest fine for hours.
