System Specs:
Gigabyte P55A-UD7 (rev. 1.0)
Intel Core i7 860 (OC to 2.92)
G.Skill F3-17600CL7D-4GBPIS (4x2GB)
ABS Majesty 900W
Evga GTX 260 Core 216 SSC
I don't know if the board and RAM are compatible or not, but I have problems with setting the ram to it's rated XMP profile. The CPU has to overclock itself to 2.92, instead of 2.8 to run at the XMP profile.
I manually set my voltages and disable settings I don't need. My main problem is that on a cold boot, starting up when sitting off for a while, there is no POST and the computer resets itself and then boots up with Fail-Safe Defaults in the BIOS with an error screen saying the problem is caused by overvoltage or overclocking thing. It doesn't do it all the time from a cold boot, but sometimes.
I have run a memtest once after I had a problem and got errors, but I wasn't sure where. So I then restarted and ran it again, and no errors showed. So it's an off and on type of thing. I've even ran every stick once through memtest, no errors.
I was wondering if anyone could shed a little light on this subject, or help with settings that are stable for the clock so it doesn't do this cold boot problem anymore. Thanks.
