Hey guys, this is my system specs:

Phenom II 940 Overclocked to 3.5 Ghz
DDR2 800 Ram Overclocked to 1000 Mhz
GTX 260 216 Core
750 GB Hard Drive

And so far the system has not been stable. I've been getting blue screens ALL The Time! Finally I had it and recorded the Stop code, which is: STOP 0X0000001E.

How do I get a dump log of the Blue Screen?

BSOD's are most commonly caused by RAM problems. The fact that you've overclocked your RAM just confirms this. What exact RAM kit do you have? What are the timings and voltage set at? Have you run Memtest86+ overnight to test for RAM errors? You'll probably need to loosen the timings and raise the voltage for stability. Your CPU voltage will also need tweaked. Have you run Prime95 to test the CPU stability? I would go to the overclocking section and read up more on how to overclock. This is a classic failed overclock.

Sure, okay thank you.

I have upped the voltage to 2.000mv as opposed to the default 1.6, still not enough to stop all crashes.

DDR2, not DDR3, so you are still good, my bad. Also run Memtest for atleast 5 passes to check for ram errors.

The RAM is DDR2, so the default voltage is 1.8v. Depending on the RAM kit, I'm sure it's rated up to around 2.1v or so.

Ah okay, i saw the default at 1.6 and it looked like a DDR3 setup, missed the 940 which would have been a give away.

I don't know what I should change to make it more stable.

Well, you need to start off by listing the COMPLETE system specs. "DDR2 800 Ram Overclocked to 1000 Mhz" doesn't really tell us anything. What RAM, motherboard, and power supply do you have? If you post the exact model or a link to the product we can look up the specs and offer assistance. You'll also need to do some leg work on your own, though. There are some overclocking guides and stuff in the overclocking section. Google is also your friend.

Well, you have a couple things working against you. First off, Raidmax is not a quality PSU manufacturer. Your PSU doesn't have active PFC and certainly won't contribute to the stability of your system.

 

Is this your RAM?

If it is, it needs pretty high voltage (2.1v) just to get to DDR2 800 with 5-4-4-18 timings. The RAM does have Extended Voltage Protection up to 2.2v. What timings are you using at DDR2 1000? You should probably be using something like 6-6-6-20 or 6-7-7-20 at 2.1v or 2.2v. This RAM looks similar to you and is sold as DDR2 1066 with 6-7-7-20 timings at 2v.

Have you upped your CPU voltage? You probably will need to do that too, but it's just a game of trial and error getting an overclocked system stable.

OK I'll change the timing and yes, my CPU voltage is upped.

Reply to Rockstone1

I currently set it: 6-6-6-18

I couldn't set my TRAS timing to 20 for some reason. The Highest I could set it was 18.

Reply to Rockstone1

I changed the overclock around a bit. It is now 200x17.5 for the CPU, making the Memory DDR2 800 and the CPU 3.5 Ghz. The problem is that my Hyper Transport speed is stuck at 1.8 Ghz.

The problem is you have no idea what your doing.

Your running ddr2-800 at 1000mhz and make a post saying your getting stop errors, well duh.

Reply to zipzoomflyhigh

Setting it to DDR2-800 at 250 Mhz Reference clock caused it to refuse to boot. Come to think of it, I had to reset my CMOS because I stupidly set the CAS timing to 3 (and therefore causing weird errors, like a pulsing HDD activity light and the fan failing)

Reply to Rockstone1

Well first make sure it is stable at stock, then OC it SLOWLY. Of course jumping the reference clock up 25% is going to cause an issue, go slowly so you can adjust the voltage when needed.

Reply to hunter315

It seems stable now. W00t.
