Ok specs:
Intel Q6600 G0 + Thermaltake Big Typhoon
ASUS P5B Deluxe/Wifi-Ap (latest bios)
4x1gb Corsair C5's
XFX 8800GT
AcBell 800w
Ok so i upgraded from an E6600 which ran for a year no issues @ 3200/1600, i know the board can handle FSB1600 and everything, recently upgraded to a Q6600 and started to overclock it - 3400's were fine, then a few days later is crashes and carrys on so i prime it and it fails, so i lower it and it works again, few days later same thing so i take it down to 3ghz even, days later still crashes in prime!
It seems to be a cold start issue, so i replaced the PSU with an AcBell 800w, and even switched the cpu, no luck - this is starting to bug me, it will pass at 3400 if its warm but on a cold start its chaos, even at stock settings i think it causes issues - WHATS DOING THIS!!!#!##!#$%$%^^
Me? Im thinking motherboard - its an early P5B (original maybe), or perhaps its times up and the capacitors are showing its age, i dunno but its a pain in the a$$, i dont want to buy a new P35 motherboard if its going to do this (i was thinking gigabyte P35 ds3)...
even tried el-cheapo memory and that was even worse!
HELP!!!!
