That seems weird
Did you try to go to bios and check to make sure every setting is correct? Also, is your CPU heatsink mounted correctly? The computer will auto shut down if the CPU overheats. The computer will restart if the CPU does not have enough voltage too. Try your ram setting in the bios too.

alrite guys.. can someone check if this is good? thanks!!


so far i want to leave it at about 3ghz. but im pretty clueless on the ram. ram is seeing 2v right now and timings are set on auto (5-5-5-15). vcore is at 1.34. what about the ratio? how important does the ration have to be at 1:1? what happens if it is set to 1:2 or 1:3?

thanks again.

I have plenty of fun with this CPU so far.
Decided to stick with 4.5G. Not sure why but it seems my idle temp is a bit high even though I am on water. Using the same watercool setup with my quad core. Btw, I tried to encode stuff with the E8400@4.5G, it totally blew the Q6600@3.4G away. Moving from a quad that couldn't overclock well to a dual that can clock very well is a good move I guess.

clear your cmos and start over again.

All is well now, I pulled an all niter and get my sweet new system up and running. I have only installed the basics so far though, anti-virus, spyware, etc., I will get some benching software on here ASAP and show some results. One question, how do you set the RAM timings on this board?

For those hitting the high FSB like 450+, are you guys using stock NB cooling or something else?

Thanks

Can you post your MIT settings for us?

Ctrl-F1 at the main bios screen will unlock the advanced memory settings.

Depending on what coding you use, it's usually more efficient to code on a higher clock speed, rather than multiple cores, as much programs haven't been utilized for multiple cores.

Grats! Looks like a sweet rig
