E8400 multiplier problems

Last response: in CPUs

Hey all,
After flashing my bios to the latest bios I started experiencing a really strange problem.

All of a sudden I can't boot in 9x multiplier. It will get to the Vista loading bar, and then bluescreen/restart. If i move down to 6x, it boots and runs fine. 8x works as well but still shows as 6x in CPU-Z.

dfi dk x38-t2rb
ati 4850
4gb ocz platinum ddr2 pc8500
500gb WD
Vista Ultimate x86
thermaltake toughpower 750w

I didn't not change any settings at all in abs. I installed it, started following the manual and then turned it off when I saw no profiles in the 4 memory banks. Then when I shut down the problem started.

I've tried disabling eist and c1e, that allows me you run correctly at 8x but still bluescreen at 9x

I rolled back to the Bios i had before and the problem still remains.
Please help!

set the multi to 8x and see about overclocking it so it forces it to run at 3GHz. And set the auto restart after system failure unchecked so you can give us what the BSOD says. It could be that you have a bad board.

set your FSB to 1500/4= 375x8=3000MHz.

or

FBS 1600 = 400x7.5= 3000MHz ram ratio 1:2
