My system:

* Apevia Xplorer Case
* Intel Core 2 Quad 2.33 mhz processor
* XFX 750i sli 1333 fsb motherboard
* 8gb (4x 2gb) OCZ 1000mhz overclocking RAM
* 850 watt COISAIR TX power supply
* Artic Cooling 7 heatsink
* 2 sli SPARKLE SX96GT2048D2-HP GeForce 9600 GT 2GB 256-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Cards (4gb total)

This ram 4 x 2gb of ocz platinum is 1000 mhz over clocking ram .... i know how to change the settings in my bios but cant seem to

get vista to boot after changes are made ... what settings should i change to get everything to function .... the timings are

5-5-5-18 and voltage is 2.1 for 1000mhz.. default in my bios is 1.95mhz and 800mhz speed ...

In short: you can either
a) change the FSB to RAM ratio, or
b) increase the FSB to 500MHz. (ratio should be 2 here - or 1:1)
c) set FSB to 250, with a ratio of 4 - or 2:1.

a) overclocks only the memory; but the FSB/CPU won't be in sync with the memory;
b) and c) change the clock for the memory, the CPU and the FSB, and the memory is in sync with the CPU/FSB; but you might need higher voltages for the NorthBridge and CPU, and better cooling.

You will need to change some setting to manual in the BIOS to be able to change the FSB, ratio and voltages.
Note: If you have an Award BIOS, press CTRL+F1 in the main BIOS screen. This unhides several settings.

If you can't manage with the info above, please describe in more detail what the default settings are there for your system and what options you have in BIOS.
Also check the Overclocking guides on this forum.

8GB is a lot of RAM for that speed... It may be that your Mobo can't run that much, that hard.

------------------------------ Being requested to remove my siggy implying some people here would receive greater personal benefit from a local Prostitute than from a new GPU in no way, shape, or form changes the aforementioned opinion.

You have a 750i, just unlink the RAM and run it at 1000mhz.
