Attention to DS techs, issues with new comp!

If you're system is overclocked, save a profile first under Frequency & Voltage Control, and then Load Defaults. 

Then, set your RAM speed under Frequency & Voltage Control to whatever you ordered, and set your timings to 9-9-9-24 (if mushkin 1333/1600, or corsair 1333/1600).

Save and Exit, then run memtest again.  If no errors occur, then it is your overclock that is causing the problems.

Alright, thats weird. Someone needs to explain to me the differences between memtest versions. The new 3.5 iso has three booting choices. 3.5, the experimental one, and lastly older version 3.4.

I just tested one stick in slot 1 in 3.5 and it gave me an error. I tested it in 3.4 and its going through the test so far with no problems! pass at 30% already. Testing on 3.5 it stopped at Pass 0% Test 5%

Whats going on? Im getting so confused... When this test is over im about to test all three again on 3.4 instead of 3.5 and see what happens.

Btw, Venom. I went into bios and saved the voltage profile like you said. And changed frequency from 1067 2:8 to 1600 2:12.

When i left bios it would even boot, then i turned the pc on and off and it booted but prompted me to change voltages after initial memtest that the comp does at startup. I'd like to do this over the phone with someone, tech support is closed on sundays right?
-------------------------------------------------------------------EDIT

Ok after looking it up online, apparently memtest 3.5 is old and prone to spurting nonsense errors, Im using memtest+ v4.0 now on all three sticks. so far there are not errors, we'll see what happens. Since the memory seems to be fine now, i doubt its a stick or one of the slots. Its most likely the BIOS settings for the OC. I'll talk to the DS techs about it when they're in. I'm just glad that it doesnt seem to be a hardware issue (thank god).

Thanks for the help guys. If any of you have any other suggestions as to getting rid of the BSOD please do tell!

----------------------------------Edit
Ok, i ran memtest+ 4 times, no errors anywhere. So i guess that the OC settings in bios are what the problem is. Well, i hvent had a blue screen since, if i dont get one in the next couple days then its all good. If i do then i'll call up DS to help me play with the BIOS.

Your CPU overclocking may need to be fine-tuned.

Thanks for getting back to me Alex, ima call the techs now. I downloaded the toolkit, but some software there (GPU-Z i think it was) required updates and it hung up on me and stopped responding when i did full auto.

I reopened the toolkit and did the manual option to test Memeory/Cpu/Overclock at a problem size of 10776. memory to use 895. and 150 runs.
It ran it all with no errors never reaching higher than 74/75 deg C.

The computer seems to run perfectly fine when its running for a bit. When i cold boot it i get a BSOD. So basically:

 i use it all day and its perfectly fine. Turn it off at night. When i turn it back on in the morning i get a BSOD a few seconds into desktop. Then i restart it and it can run fine all day again. Then when i turn it off for several hours (like when im sleeping) i get a BSOD at desktop again! But memtest finds no errors and the memory cpu stress test in LinX found no errors! :(

Just talked to DS techs. Guy had me set everything to defaults and wait and see if it blue screens again within the next couple days. If it doesnt, we know it was the OC and will have to play with freq/voltages. Otherwise we have to dig a little deeper. I'm praying its just the OC cause i dont feel like going through the hassle of shipping all this stuff back to california from where i am in new york!
