Hi all!
I just built my system yesterday.
I installed Core 2 duo e6600 on P5NSLI mobo, with 320gb SATAII, Radeon X850XT, and PQI 2gb PC5400 667mhz, and Audigy 2 Soundcard.
My case is sagitta ATX-921WBP.
Everything went fine. But after I installed my Windows XP, windows is rebooting every hour.
I checked mobo temperature and graphic card temperature, and mobo was 38C (forgot what full load temp. was) and graphic was 46C, 68 full load.
Someone please help me..
Thanks!!

I didn't overclock anything yet.
But my timing for RAM was set up at 5-7-7-31. BIOS read that automatically.
I changed that to 4-4-4-12 to make sure it works, and I ran the test again. Prime 95 torture test worked perfectly for 5min.. I'm going to run the memtest86 now.
Oh btw, 4-4-4-12 are tcas-trcd-trp-tras, then what do I have to do for trc and addressing mode? I left that as AUTO. Is this ok?
Thanks

Beerandcandy thanks for your help all the time.
OK, i ran memtest86 for 4 hours, and it showed me 18 errors, with 5 passes. Errors from 1800mb to 1950mb, and it basically had an error every 10mb.
Also bsod showed me physical memory error.
Its definetly ram problem.

Had a problem with my AM2 X2 4200+ system.
BSOD's randomly or when I tried to play games.
Turns out my mobo had problems with RAM and popped out the OCZ sticks for some Corsair's and resetted CMOS, and now its fine.

I tested my rams using single channel, using one rams at a time, and I found out no errors for the first one. I ran that for 6:30 hours.
Second ram, I ran that for 6 hours, and I found out 2 errors. If I left longer, I might have found more. Because first error and second error was found at 723MB, and 769MB.
So I think its my second ram that is causing a problem.
