try lowering your RAM multiplier for a test and see if that helps, i've heard of issues at 1600mhzm but im not 100% sure
Whhaaaaaaaaa..!? [Prime95 freezing @ default clocks!?]
I'm worried now.... I begin OC'ing my CPU in steps and testing with Prime95, but after just one second, it freezes... I eventually try bringing it down to the point where everything is running on default clocks
Default clocks as in:
CPU: 200x17 (3.4ghz)
Memory: 200x8 (1600mhz)
memory volts: 1.95
CPU-NB VID volts: 1.3
Everything else default
...and I still freeze...
Could this be my RAM? I get the same results whether at 1.9 or 1.95 and I've been increasing the CPU-NB VID volts like crazy...
I don't get this freezing problem running a Sony Vegas render, which stresses [100% everything] the CPU in the same way as Prime95...weird
I'm running Large FFT test on Prime95 when it does this.
Temperatures aren't a big concern, I'm backed by the new Dark Knight cooler.
Any hints?

@Cerberus: Done
@Fear of Oneself: WOW... not only am I able to actually run Prime95, but my system boots up faster!

RAM is set at 1333mhz 6-6-6-18 [which this RAM is also rated to run, alternatively from 1600]. The only downside I know to running RAM at this speed is that video encoding (which I do a lot) will slow down, but if I'm stable I guess I'm fine with that. Thanks ~ +1

IMC on your CPU might limit the RAM speed to 1333 even though the RAM that you bought is rated at 1600

Sometimes, as in my case, messing with the FSB causing some system instability. I know this sounds random, but keep your RAM at 1600 and change the timing to 2T. My GEIL memory liked that a lot before I changed over to G-Skill.

My FSB is at 217 and I'm stable...

RAM is running 1447mhz 6-6-6-18 2T, working fine
