Good Morning guys,
Let me link my Hardware:
EVGA nForce 790i Ultra SLI Motherboard
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4555038&csid=ITD&body=MAIN#detailspecs
Q9550 Intel Processor
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115041
ULTRA X3 1000w Modular Power Supply
http://www.xoxide.com/ultra-x3-1000w-psu.html
x 2 GTX8800’s in SLI
http://www.datavis.com/XFX-Pine-Group-GeForce-8800-GTX-768MB-PCI-Express-Video-Card.html
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

then try memtest x86 with that voltage, if it fails rma your dud ram
