I ran prime95 just under 20 hours. No errors at all on the log. My CPU, mobo, ram is about 3-4 years old. It is homebuilt. GPU brand new. Just put it in a few weeks ago hoping it might be part of the problem. It is not. :-(

What should I do next. Clock it at regular speeds? Do you think the voltage/timing etc...are all okay as they are?

Thanks again,

David

Yeah, return it to stock clock, voltage, and mfr specific timings for your ram and let's see how it does.

Are you running the two new DIMMS or the old ones?
If you are running the old ones then try the new ones.

Did you run the Prime Torture test - Blend with max threads and max RAM, in Advanced tab > check 'Round off checking'?

Have you tried to loosen the RAM timings?

If none of the above helps, bump the CPU Core voltage to 1.4v

Yes, it is a PITA; but you have great guide working with you.

How's it going?

Well, CPUZ shows a different value of my CPU voltage from what the bios and nvidia monitor shows. It was set at 1.4 in the bios already, but the bios showed the actual voltage at 1.36. I bumped it to 1.413 in the bios, and CPUz is now showing higher than my previous screenshots, but still only at 1.376 to 1.384. Is this normal?

Again...thanks...David

edit..okay, I now know this is fairly normal...vdrop, or vdroop. Still, any thoughts?

David, I strongly urge you NOT to use an automatic registry cleaner. Here is my "sermon" on that topic.

Windows is a closed source system. Developers of registry cleaners do not have the core code of Win 7 and are not working on definitive information, but rather they are going on past knowledge and experience. Automatic cleaners will usually have to do some guesswork.

Modifying registry keys incorrectly can cause Windows instability, or make Windows unbootable. No registry cleaner is completely safe and the potential is ever present to cause more problems than they claim to fix.

My advice for the average computer user is DO NOT use a registry cleaner. If you do not have knowledge of the registry, then you are far better off leaving it alone, and definitely not placing blind trust in a program to do the job for you.

Registry cleaners cannot distinguish between good and bad. If you run a registry cleaner, it will delete all those keys which are obsolete and sitting idle; but in reality, those keys may well be needed by some programs or windows at a later time.

Registry defragger programs are a myth, too. They might trim the registry size by 8-12MB; but will not improve operating system performance. In fact, your programs’ performance will decrease.

Win 7 does not need a registry cleaner. Forget all the "wisdom" you learned about XP. Win 7 is not XP and does not manage the registry the same as XP.

Win 7 is much more efficient at managing the registry than previous Windows versions. If you are very knowledgeable of the registry, you can use Ccleaner to delete keys left over when uninstalling programs. However, these few keys will not make 1 millisecond's difference in performance. If you run Ccleaner or any other registry cleaner and do not know precisely what you are doing, you will have problems down the road. There are no gains to be had from using a registry cleaner and the risk is great.

Are registry cleaners necessary?

Back up the registry

Why I don’t use registry cleaners

Yes, that is normal, you can run it a 1.36v, setting the BIOS to the 1.4v setting.

The voltage increase is what we are going for.
