Could be a few things, PSU headed south, settings off (any power spikes, surges recently?). Could try testing the DRAM under Memtest to see if that's the problem? If the sticks test good, may want to try them at 1333, 1600 may be too much on the MC

**FalseEcho** · 10-23-2011, 01:41 PM

Yep

I've done all that. It's in the change-log.

**Tradesman** · 10-23-2011, 03:40 PM

Will try to take a closer look at your log later this PM

Did you configure BIOS settings according to our guide?

Thank you
