could be bad ram. try memtest on normal settings with your ram.

heh, i forgot about this post ... a few tweaks to the ram settings and changing from yellow to orange slots did the trick ... these are the results:

glad to hear it works

so at 10x mult. go for 250+fsb but a using a divider?

 

[apesoccer]

If you're going to drop to 10x...just go to 250 1:1....my 3200 ocz plat 2gb does 250, so i know your's EDIT: *should* [will] do 250.

Some reviewers are getting even better results then 250...you might try to hit that same 2600mhz (260fsb) at 1:1 and 10x. It'll definately run hotter, but it'd be fun to bench.

--One more thing...if you want to test your memory, drop the multiplier down to 4 or 5x, and see how far you can push the fsb 1:1. That way you take your cpu out of the equation.
