computer crash

Had one of my computers crash and thought the harddrive was the only thing damaged. Got another drive and was installing windows when the computer just shuts off half way through windows initializing. I'm thinking power supply now. Question is do I need to reformat the drive to erase partial...

Backup Question

Need to purchase a backup drive but can't seem to find one that is relaible without spending $500. And maybe a mirror drive is the way to go. Can anyone give me some input on which way or an external drive that is affordable. Thanks

Peleejosh, I might have to burn another copy of memtest86 cause I cant get the scroll to work in memtest and have to reboot to get out of program. Anyway from what your saying....test with my auto config I have now to see if stable. I've run the prime small fft for 8-10 hours and passed but...

opty 170 issue

Thanks for the numbers peleejosh. So last night I ran the same config as listed earlier, except I took the CPU multiplier to 9 (to remove cpu from test) and bumped (in increments) the ram to 270 still using the auto settings. It passed full memtest86 4 times without errors. So I put the cpu...

opty 170 issue

So I went ahead and set my Ltd multible on auto , kept my ram at 1:01 stock (because it seemed as though setting at 166 was causing my problem) , my cpu multiple at 10, my cpu volts at stock amd bumped my fsb to 255 and it primed on small fft for 9 hours. I just read your posts after I bumped my...

Final Test for Overclocking

Do you guys aggree that running prime for 8 hours is the final test before one can consider the computer stable? Will prime also consider heavy graphic situations to be stable or do you perform some graphic test in addition to prime? What in prime do you run for the 8+ hours (small fft...etc.)...

opty 170 issue

I've got a DFI UT NF4 SLI D and the Ram is OCZ5002048ELGEGXT-K. So do you think by changing the mem divider I have to set timings? Also I'm concerned about the error I received while booting. I'm not sure it's real since I'm writing this post from the computer. By the way, I forgot to mention...

opty 170 issue

overclocked my 170 to 2500 out of the box using OCZDDR500. So I detuned the ram to a 3xmultiplier and a 166 ratio and bumped the cpu to 2550 at stock volt to find cpu ceiling. Wouldn't boot windows. Bumped the volts to 1.4 and would'nt boot windows. so I put the cpu back to where it started 2500...

Multible monitoring programs

Does running multible monitoring programs like smart guardian and speedfan create any problems that you guys are aware of? Thanks Scott

MemTest86 Question

So then you run memtest outside of Windows? In other words it's not like prime95 that runs in the OS? Thanks

MemTest86 Question

Thanks guys. As you can tell I"m a little new to this game. They have three versions (compiled bootable ISO, compiled bootable binary and compiled EXE). I'm assuming depending on the version one could test from different scenarios. Any suggestions which one? Thanks Scott
