Okay, After tweaking with my build for a few months, I've stumbled opon some instability. (Both with new and old overclock settings, where it wasn't unstable before.) I lowered the clock speed for 1:1 with RAM.
Currently running a GA-P35-DS3L, e2180, 2GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800, x1900xt, and a Silverstone OP650 power supply.
Old settings: 3333Mhz, 333 FSB, x10 multiplier, 1.392v, DDR2 800 4-4-4-15
New Settings: 3200Mhz. 400 FSB, x8 Multiplier, 1.392v, DDR2 800 4-4-4-15
So, the symptoms.
The instability appears sparatically whilst playing games, or running any sort of stress-test. Sometimes nearly instantly, sometimes after 5+ hours of testing/gaming.
Increasing CPU voltage reduces stability further, and crashes more often.
After dropping overclock, system is stable.
Unstable when overclocked even a small amount. I tried 2100Mhz, and it still crashed.
Processor never breaks 40c, even during full load for 6+ hours. (Thank you, modded Vigor Monsoon II)
Memtest failed recently, and started reporting certian sections of RAM as bad. Reboot+run again, it didn't find anything after 10 complete passes.
On soft restarts, computer sometimes does not reboot, and tries to boot endlessly until power is pulled from plug for a few seconds, then boots fine, albeit overclock settings are lost.
Also, I noticed while running Memtest, that my CPU was being reported as 4Ghz, while I'm only running it at 3.2Ghz. Windows and Linux also does the same. (Included screenshot)
My mind is pointing towards the motherboard, but I wanted a few more opinions before I send something in for replacement.
Any help in figuring this out would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!
