Hi all,

In a previous post i have mentioned a P.C I recently acquired, it consists of,

Q6600
P5K Premium
2x1GB 1066 Dominator RAM
650w XClio PSU
9600GT

It has recently begun suffering from random BSOD's. It is running 24/7. After a reboot I get the message "Overclock failed, press f1 to run set up". It isn't overclocked. This is then followed by the message in windows, "Your system has recovered from a serious error".

I have substituted the ram without success. I am running the latest drivers. All components are less than 4 months old.

Any Ideas?

Many Thanks,

Keith.

Have you set all the RAM voltages and timings manually? If you haven't try doing that, some motherboards don't set the timings/voltages right for the RAM for the speed they are rated at, thus causing problems.
