Not bad for 8GB's of DDR2 -800
The back up Rig is just humming along

Of course this is if you run out of other ideas.
A stick of RAM is bad??? I'm no expert but I would pull them all and then try them one at a time.
You know the routine I'm sure.
If all the RAM is good in one slot then a RAM slot could have a problem. I think that would be rare though.

I still say it is the quirky quacky operator.

Under the main CPU listing Timings is on the right.
Default shows both A and B.
Drop the curtain and Select A and B seperately. Make sure the seperate A and B timing lists match.
If there is a mismatch in timings you can match them here but proceed with caution if you do so.
When you open Tweaker there will be a tab at the bottom Sub Time click it.
Proceed with caution and your own peril if you change settings in Sub Time. You can set the timings and everything from here but be careful. I have never used this software for this but many OC'ers do.
I only use it to check settings never to alter them.
Yessir, I had done all the RAM tests before putting the thing in a case. I did find some of the BIOS settings had reverted to something other than I set them to, maybe due to not being on all the time.
I got the Tweaker and will look at it later. Just what I need, software to automatically foul me up.
I'm quacky, but the rigs are ok, or will be. Going to Wal*Mart for a Pc adjuster tool.
Get the 16 pounder.

I would try setting everything back to stock settings if you know what they were. Make sure all the channels have identical timing settings.
At least that gives you a starting point that should work.
Reset to default. Pulling CMOS battery does that if memory serves on some boards.
My ASUS board has a reset button I think.
(If all else fails) Read the manual.
In your UEFI BIOS the IMC is VCCIO Voltage (referred to as VVT below).
The recommended max voltage difference between Vcore and IMC is 0.50v, to prevent CPU damage according to Intel.
Default VCCIO voltage should be ~1.06v, I would bump it to 1.120 - 1.150v if you have 16GB RAM (your system specs) or 1.100 - 1.140v if running 8GB RAM (previous CPUZ memory tab).
The OverClockers BSOD code list
0x124 = increase/decrease QPI/VTT first, if not increase/decrease vcore...have to test to see which one it is on i7 45nm, usually means too little VVT/QPI for the speed of Uncore on i7 32nm SB, usually means too little vCore.
0x7E = Corrupted OS file, possibly from overclocking. Run sfc /scannow and chkdsk /r
Dave, this is my back up system, the specs are in the CPU-Z snips, no UEFI there, old American Megatrends blue and white BIOS. I will try the chkdsk and sfc though.
