So I have an e6750 on an evga 680i mobo, and when I have it set to "unlinked" 1800 FSB, 800 Ram, I can (usually) boot into windows and run prime95 and games and memtest and it all works perfectly.

The problem is that about 1/2 of the time, the computer gets stuck on boots. It either hangs at "verifying DMI data" or it gives a BSOD error right afterward.

Once in Windows, I can run Crysis or Prime for hours....

Oh.. I also had a long boot tone one time and a "C1" error on the mobo.

WTF?

Any ideas?
 
Older motherboard revision perhaps? Mine also won't boot at 3.6GHz, but will run at that speed once in Vista. 3.5GHz is totally stable, and since Crysis only uses 20% of the CPU power I throw at it anyway, that's where she stays for now!
 
Sounds like your motherboard isn't entirely comfortable with that FSB.

I believe(would have to look in my 680i manual) but C1 is a memory error if I recall...

I started getting BSOD one day after a few weeks of putting my Ballistix's at their normal 2.2v(compared to 1.9v that I had them at). Then it started not to even post and do C1 error with long tones. DId a memtest...One of sticks was failing.

So started doing an RMA...well I still was getting BSODs with the good stick. So ran a memtest on it and it was also failing.

I also had the first revision of the board and I finally found out (after the board fried my RAM) is that it over volts your RAM...so while I set the RAM at 1.9v it was probably setting them at 2.0-2.1ish and I already had them semi overclocked and turns out the board didn't like them after a few weeks.

So I would do a Memtest on the sticks, they might be failing.
