I didnt get you well but if it reached die temps at stock you probably have a problem with heatsink or another cooling issue ... btw 1.625 is TOOOO much for i7 try re-seating the heatsink ofcourse check the thermal compound if not i dont have any idea listen other advices too ...

-power supply especially a 850 w cant hold u back
-dont know about mobo
-1.65 is too much

What are the temps of your cpu? Also try running your computer with one stick of ram at a time.

Okay try booting up your computer up with one stick of ram at a time and tell me what happens.

the threshold temp for the 920 is 67.9, so that could be the cause of the problem. As one of the previous posters have stated that you need to reseat your cpu and apply some AS5 or whatever you like best.

No problem, come back though if you are still having issues and see if we cant figure it out. Hope your problem is rectified though

Try the prime95 test with one piece of ram in the first slot, and if that does not work try another piece in the first slot also (and so on untill you have tried all 3). If any of those allow the computer to work after the test then that means one piece of your ram is bad. If it fails the test all three times try the same test in the second slot (making sure your are still doing the test). Also what are all your volts for the core, ram, and qpi?

comp to work meaning that my comp can start normally or do i have to run prime 95 or any ram test software?

Gameace

· #19 · Nov 25, 2009

Do the prime 95 test on each piece of ram individually like I said in the post above. ONe at a time untill you have tried all 3 and tell me if it passes any time. IF it fails all 3 times then try the second ram slot doing the same test.
