My Pc Specs are

Mobo: Asus P5nt-ws (680iLt Sli)
Cpu : Q6600 3.15Ghz Nb-1.4V
Ram : 2*2 Gb Transcend 800Mhz
Gpu : XFX 8800gt And Palit 8800Gt in Sli
Hdd : 2 * 80Gb Raid(0), 2* 250Gb Raid(0) , 1Tb (Data)
Psu :Tagan Bz series 800W Psu

Now my problem started like this i was running stable at 3.0Ghz with 1*8800gt I went ahead and bought another one(XFX) Bought the 800W Psu due to the load increase.

After enabling Sli first the system would start artifacting within 2-3 mins from start in Crysis. then somehow after swapping the cards up and down and inserting Xfx card in master and Palit in Slave and trying different sets of drivers i managed to make it work stably but not for long 2 weeks later my system would lock-up and give BSod's upon start i thought a problrm with the Ram and got a replacement still the problem won't go away. i got two 1gb sticks of ram from my friend and put it in my system and the problem went away now as soon as i put one of my old sticks it would again start behaving the same so i went and bought a third stick of the same model Corsair valueram and put three of them together again the same BSOd's and lockup's so i came to the conclusion that my system is not supporting more than 2gb of ram sticks now after 2weeks of fighting with the system i removed the second Vga card and booted the system with my old 2*2gb sticks just to check and behold it was working fine again but as soon as i plug the Vga back in it will again Lockup. But now even with 2gb corsair it is Locking up again the same way it used to do before. i finally have removed the second Video card and kept it on my desk the system is now running Stable. But i need the second card to work that's what i bought it for can someone Help me figure out the problem. I am totally fed up now.
Thanx for help in advance.

I got the P5NT WS too, and a Q6600. Whenever i try to overclock my cpu to 3,0Ghz my pc will lock up after 10-15 minutes of gaming. My CPU itself keeps a nice temp (51c) during load, so that is not the problem. However, my northbridge goes hot.. Really hot, i cant even hold my finger on the heatsink for more than 2 seconds, without burning myself. I belive the problems is caused by too high voltage, so i want to know, what is a good voltage for the northbridge? Right now im running [auto] in bios, so i dont really know where to start.

I got dual 8800Gt too.

I Use 1.4 in Bios for 3.00GHz. Don't leave anything at Auto Since it gives more than required voltages to the components.
My Cpu Volts is 1.38V in bios. If you need any more help Than reply back.
