you should have the "Instinct" and awareness of what you are gonna do..so far his advice works only on his way..you should know better since you are the one who picked your parts..

Instinct and awareness? It made complete sense to me--set it at 1.35(the max for my board) then I overvolted it to 1.45-which I had it at before--and it failed....
....maybe an explanation of those particular settings would enlighten me. (cpu vid-vcore, right? and cpu overvoltage)
yeah I picked my parts, but not the bios layout--I've never had a board with "overvoltage" before
I'm not here to be scolded, I'm here to learn

yup we all are here for the same reason too..but its always a reminder to do such thing with awareness so far as you have said its always been 1.35 volts for your assumption..trying 1.45v ASAP is a nono you should have tried raising it a step at a time..like 1.362 then if all goes well another one to 1.37..til you fine tune that setting giving it a single blow will end up just like that..i think what i am trying to tell you is its always a step at a time to reach your goal..
we all learn through our mistakes and its the best teacher for me so far..in your case i advise you that when you engage yourself to something new like this i get to know my parts well before i do some "serious" tweaking..its just like getting to know your best friend..

no, you misunderstand. I've had the board at 1.55 with no problems at all. It was at 1.12ish cpu vid, and because I didn't understand some of the bios settings, overvolted to 1.55 on accident. this was a few weeks ago, and it booted fine-no problems. then I put the overvolt to equal 1.35 and it's been fine ever since
this time I set the cpu vid to 1.35 (stock settings) then upped the overvoltage to equal 1.45 cause I new it could handle it--well, I thought it could...why did it take 1.55 back then and now it couldn't handle 1.45?
I think it's just a bad board

i'm not that paul guy, lol--I found that through google
my idle temps were around 36 @ stock, and 40 @ 1.41 volts-even @ 3.5 GHz , before I changed the way I set up my voltage---everything was fine until I messed with the cpu vid instead of the "overvoltage" setting

i see..so you've been there at 1.55v..maybe your board can't seem to handle that much voltage..if its the CPU VID then maybe your chip got roasted either way isolate the mobo and chip..i have a bad feeling that the chip is the culprit..

I got an am2 chip to test, backup ram, and a psu tester....will try all tomorrow....I hope it's the board, cause I got the warranty...
I really hope you're wrong about the chip- I lapped it and can't return it

it was set at 1.125 I believe, then I set it at 1.35(the max for my bios)
then set the overvoltage setting to + .1 to equal 1.45--rebooted, then utter failure:swearing:
