Built a new system. It is completely stock right now, and I was just trying to make sure the build was stable before I start overclocking. Seems to be ok most of the time when just using normal applications. When I tried to run Everest System Stability test, it would either freeze up completely, or restart. The prime95 small fft seemed to run ok, but when I tried to run the blend torture test, the same thing would happen as well. I ran memtest86+ 2.11 and it went through many passes with no errors detected whatsoever. I'm not sure what to do at the moment.

Thanks for you help.

I would try a different stress test just to be sure. Try OCCT, that is what I use. Download the 3.0.1 version which has i7 support. Run a Large data set, high priority, and check the Hyperthreading box. Run it for an hour and see what you get. It will also monitor your temps and voltaged. What voltage is it hitting when it restarts, if it does restart?

Are you using the XMP memory profile in your BIOS to set the memory timings?

Turns out there was something that was conflicting with my motherboard and the 1333 RAM I had. Changed the memory ratios, and everything seemed good to go
