Hi all. Hopefuly you can answer a couple questions i have.
Here are the need to knows.

CPU: q6600. oc to 3.2 400x8
MB: Asus Maximus
Ram: 2gb Corsair XMS2, 2gb Crucial Balistix. both are CAS4, DDR2 6400.
Video: 3870x2


Problem 1: Computer wont always start. Solution. Hold down power to turn it off, then turn it back on. It reads the cpu running 2.14. I am assuming its because i changed the multiplier to 8?

Problem 2: Computer wotn always start..... After restarting the computer i go back in to the bios, where the OC settings are saved, save and exit. Everything works fine.

Problem 3: Undrelated but i'll take waht i can get. I have 3DMark05 and 06. Both say that my system doesnt support 2.0 shaders and other crap and that i should run an older 3DMark. I can run test, but i cant run the Demo, tells me to run an older program. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my video drivers. At the same time Unreal Tournament 3 stopped working, it would crash. Aquamark would never work, i dont remember the error exactly. And when i play Galactic Civilization 2, none of the planets and ships appear. In Crysis I have alot of flickering in spots, mostly foliage and mountains in the distance.
Could i have damaged my video card trying to overclock it?

PS, i am running the ram at 4-4-4-11.

If i were to set my CPU to 425x8 to get 3.4ghz. taht would put my ram at 850mhz. About what voltage would you run the ram at?

is the overclock stable?, update bios if i recall it fixes this issue. there is a thread about it in xtremesystems.org
