Re: [Unstable] e8400 @ 3ghz , Vcore a 1.35

The CPU should certainly be able to run at stock voltage stably. Have you ruled out other components of your system as culprits?
Have you done any overclocking with your RAM, or video card?

Well for some reason mine is unable to run at stock voltage.
I could run a memory test with Ultimabe boot cd
if i try a cpu burnin test.. it would crash and reboot even before unzipping the files and executing it.

Well its a brand new machine with only a cheap video card and 4gig ram.

I dont even know how to OC.
I was just trying to plug everything in and install windows without OCing, but it would crash after clicking on the first NEXT button.

i tried running at 8.5 x333mhz although my default speed should be 3ghz not 2.8ghz.. but it failed..
Was trying to load the computer with the default settings.

I tried it with one ram, then the other one, then different sockets and also moved my video card to another socket.
all failed.

then trying to change the voltage of my Ram to 2.0~2.1 as specified by the manufacturer. total failure.

Oh ya i even changed my SATA cable and tried to plug it in Sata-0 / 1 / 2 / 3 and gave up.

then next step was to increment the Vcore until i reach 1.35 which by then i was able to click on next and proceed with the installation of windows..

took me about 16 hours without sleep to install windows.. was not a pleasant experience.
