Means the system isn't 100% stable.
Back off your overclock maybe?
BTW ...... your image is much too big.

could be memory no?
try relaxing your memory to the max and see if still happens...
also, it looks like those programs contradict with regard to vcore.. might want to set vcore manually vs. auto to see if that helps
it would help if you would post your full rig

So your cpu is overclocked? Generally that error refers to lack of voltage to the cpu. Need to back the overclock off or raise volts. To test that, put the cpu back to all stock settings and see if it still happends. You know its the cpu if it stops doing it at stock speeds.
I havent started overclocking yet. They are running on stock speeds as you can see on the picture. Where do i find the vcore on the bios? Or do i look for it somewhere else?
I'm using my lappy right now since the desktop is running memtest. So far so good. Pass 70% and no errors yet *crosses fingers*.

yea the timings are 2.5-3-3-6 and im running memtest as i type and no errors yet. When set in auto, it reads 3-3-3-8. No idea what the ram dividers but i'll let you know later. Corsair site is advertising it like this thats why i bought it. If the memtest passes, then all i can think of is upping the vcore like what these guys suggested. Im reading the BIOS manual right now trying to figure out where the vcore adjustment is located.
It is very possible that your PSU isn't supplying the proper amount of voltage to the CPU. Try and manually set the voltage in the BIOS so that it matches your stock vcore. Make sure that both the asus probe and cpuz read the same voltages. if it isn't working after that, bump up the vcore one notch, and run the test again.
if it works after that, then the psu just isn't supplying the proc enough power. You then have the choice of leaving it at that vcore, or purchasing a new psu.

If it's not the memory/PSU, I'd RMA the cpu.
when i say that the psu isn't supplying the correct voltage, it could just be that the psu was defective to begin with. so just give it a shot to manually set the voltage, test it, and if it isn't ok try and set the voltage one setting higher than stock.jhego said:
if everything is OK after you've set the voltage higher, then you'll be presented with either the option of RMA'ing the psu or leaving it at that setting.
I didn't know PSU can be unstable too. I mean, if its unstable, it would just not turn on at all. I wonder if there is a PSU stress test 
Well, i bumped the vcore to 1.50 and im testing it now as i type. If its still unstable then i'm gonna have to RMA it on Monday.

Best way to stress test a PSU is to run Prime with in-place large FFTs, while looping 3dMark. That'll cover max heat output and max power consumption.jhego said:I didn't know PSU can be unstable too.

does super_pi pass?
perhaps try 2t instead of 1t to see if its a crap mem controller on the cpu
id definitly grap a multimeter and take a reading on your power rails just to be safe, but it doesnt sound like power to me.
try vcore at 1.45-1.5 to see if it becomes stable, if it does take out your cpu and RMA it, because clearly it cant run at stock voltage.

yeah lets make it run really slow....kleox64 said:
seeing as how this guy is at stock speeds all the vcore bumping in the world is just helping to prove he has a bad chip. his voltages look ok (i dont like the 3.2 on the 3.3 but it should still be fine) and it apparently memtests ok. but there have been some complaints about the OCZ PSU's as of late. borrow a PSU from a friend to confirm thats not it then RMA the chip guy.
Well guess what. After bumping the vcore to 1.50 and ran it overnight, there has not been a single error So does it come down to bad processor or bad PSU? If it's CPU, then tough luck for me since i bought this a year ago OEM and i dont know about their RMA policy. I can however RMA the PSU since i bought this at Monarch on Jan 13 and i have to do it soon. I mean what's the risk am i getting if i keep the PSU but on manual vcore? Do i have to constantly change it everytime i install something and run Prime95?

Hmm, when i checked the BIOS after loading the default setups it was on Auto. How can you check the default vcore? The CPU-Z and Asus Probe still shows the vcore at the same level so i guess this is the default vcore???? It's weird, i mean why didnt the BIOS supply the right voltage if it was on Auto. I thought Auto means self adjustable?

Yeah, turns out that 1.5 is your default vcore. Don't know what to tell you about auto, except that you mobo might just have been having problems with automatically setting it. Not a big deal if everything is cool when its manually set.
If its just the mobo then i dont really care about the auto thing. Well i guess that solved the problem. I would like to say thanks to all of you who took the time to check this thread and gave a little advice. We all sure did learn something especially me. Most thanks to the ones who kept telling me to bump the flippin' vcore already, lol But don't let it stop you from posting if you would like to add something else.
But don't let it stop you from posting if you would like to add something else.reduce your cpu multiplier to try a lower cpu speed to rule the cpu out
also swap out the ram or try
1/2 t timings
cas 3-4-4-8 for stability
flash to newer/more stable bios
start swaping parts to see what is screwing up this could very likeley be your motherboard v-regs are craping out or getting too hot

Most times if you set auto, BIOS should detect it right. I personally never had a mobo that didn't. What proc are you using btw? check on intel or amd website if that's really the right default vcore.jhego said:Hmm, when i checked the BIOS after loading the default setups it was on Auto.

To really see if its your psu, run speedfan or other monitoring prog and see how flat your voltage lines are when the system is under load.
