Good Morning guys,

Let me link my Hardware:

EVGA nForce 790i Ultra SLI Motherboard

Q9550 Intel Processor

ULTRA X3 1000w Modular Power Supply

x 2 GTX8800’s in SLI

Memory: x4 DDR3 1033 MHZ Platinum OCZ 7-7-7-20 RAM
---------------------------------

So, I decided to lower my FSB, instead of Over clocking at 4.032 GHZ, I lowered only FSB to reach a 3.7 GHZ over clock (Q9550), and it went downhill from there. Now upon boot-up, my computer freezes after loading into windows, I can move my mouse for a few seconds before it actually just freezes.


Now what I did: I reset the CMOS jumper, and booted it back up. The only thing I had to change after resetting the CMOS jumper was to set up my raid config so that I can boot into windows. So I did that and the computer loads into windows (I have screen shots of all my settings, just don't know where to upload) and then restarts. I have tried every single voltage increment on my ram from 1.5 - 2.0, which is like 30 increments, and saved and restarted every time. It seems to me, if I go anything below 1.775, it loads into windows and restarts, now if I do anything above 1.775, it loads into windows and freezes. Please note that all my settings (voltages, FSB, ect) are @ stock, I only changed the memory voltage. I did try doing a lot of other things as well; meanwhile, I spent nearly 4 hours switching stuff around. Please any suggestions, I will have the computer moved right next to a working desktop, so that I can try things as people post suggestions. Please any help will be greatly■■ appreciated.


PS: I have screen shots of BIOS Settings

 
1.8 voltage is my memory specification and it doesnt run... not done memtest yet, will test. Its not faulty ram because it was stable for about 6 months...
