Please help me find a soultion to my problem

When runnig Orthos i get a BSOD after about 30mins

Firstly my Specs
Asus P5W-DH (bios 1506)
E6600 @3.4 (380x9) @ 1.475v
2 x 1gb corsair 1066 XMS2 PC8500
XFX 7950gx2
2 x 200gb hd raid 0
Silverstone 850w psu
danger den cooling

My problem lies were i currently have my e6600 @3.4 (380x9) @ 1.475v with the ram @ 950 i get this BSOD after 30 mins of orthos

PFN_LIST_CORRUPT
stop : 0x0000004E (0X0000008F, 0X00055E42, 0X00056842, 0X00000000)

my BOIS is

CPU FREQ 380
DRAM FREQ DDR2 950
PERFORMANCE MODE AUTO
PCI EXPRESS 110
PCI CLOCK 33.33
MEM VOLTAGE 2.2
CPU VCORE 1.475
FSB TERMINATION AUTO
MCH VOLTAGE 1.75
ICH VOLTAGE 1.20
DRAM TIMING BY SPD

Now if i run it at ddr2-570 it run 8hrs (orthos) fine

Thanks in advance for your ideas
 
How does everything else run? When I had my Venice above 3Ghz it would not run Prime for shit, yet it ran everything else perfectly...any game, any app., anything. It would just not run Prime.
 
If it is DDR2 1066 and you are running it at DDR2 950 speed then you should certainly not have any problems with it. I would look to another source for the problem.
 
Ok, then chances are that it is not the RAM...

Did you consider that it might be orthos itself?

Windows may also be to blame if its a bluescreen

my roommate is the local expert I have on hand about RAID and he says that if you are booting off of a RAID array it is possible that the RAID could be to blame. Try installed windows on a spare drive if you have one and install orthos and do the identical overclock on that drive and see if it still BSODs
 
My opinion is, it's most likely it is bad ram. Try duplicating the blue screen again by running orthos for 30 min. Here is what I suggest:

1) Take 1 stick out and run orthos for 4+ hrs. See if you get that blue screen again.
2) Try the other stick and do the same.
3) If you still cant get the blue screen, play some games for 1 hr or so with 1 GB.
4) Try the other stick and play some more games.

If you still cant get that blue screen to come up, I wouldnt worry about it. :D

wtf you talking about, he already stated that "he ran memtest up to 3 hrs with no errors" which means the rams are fine at that speed.

@op try to up your FSB to 410 and use Multipler x8
 
my problem was the exact same, ended up being the RAM, one stick took forever to show errors in memtest, even then it was very few, other stick worked fine by itsself, no errors yet, waiting on my RMA so i can stick the dominators back in, this was at stock speeds btw...
 
Just because you run memtest for x amount of times and it passes DOES NOT guarantee it's not ram problem. Believe me, I run memtest all day long with at least a dozen computer a day. Customer will call back telling us about BSOD or games crashing.
