Hey guys. I have had my system running 490*7=3430 for a while now, around a month and a half. Ram was running 4-4-4-10 with Vcore at 1.41 and northbridge at 1.6v (modded board to have a fan on it so it wasnt getting too warm.) Around 3 days ago i double clicked something i shouldnt have and got infected with lots of nasty trojans and stuff. At that same time however my ram suddenly refused to work at 4-4-4-10 (errored in memtest at test 5) so i had to back it off to 5-5-5-15. Its worth noting i also noticed my board reporting only 2.13v going into it as opposed to the 2.18 it was reporting. I then reformated to get a clean system after those nasty trojans, and everything seemed fine, though i still had to run 5-5-5-15 for whatever reason. Now, as i get to my comp today, i find that it had crashed repeatedly during the night and running memtest as it error out on the second test within seconds of it starting! Im now running 401 FSB at 4-4-4-10 and it seems fine, but at this rate this could become unstable. Anyone have any idea whats going on here? BAH! As im writing this right now i just got over 8k errors in memtest instantly! Im now running 5-5-5-15 at 401fsb. My ram seems to have just suddenly died for some reason. Anyone have any idea whats going on here?
 
One possibility is that your ambient temperatures are higher. It's getting warmer in a lot of places, so that is one possibility.
 
Ok - first off i want to apologize for the spelling of developing in the thread title. No idea how that happened.

Secondly, i re-flashed the bios (same bios version and all though) and it seems to be working perfectly fine again. Back at 490 fsb 4-4-4-10. Anyone have any sort of idea what could have caused the previous problems? I really have no clue!
 
AND after a day of working fine its erroring out again! Anyone have an idea?
