Hi, So yeah, by this point the culprit is clear: it's one of the RAM. After 72 hours of stability on one stick I can finally draw a sigh of relief to have the problem located. When I find the faulty RAM it's a cointoss between RMA and going at it with a hammer for all the problems it's caused...

Oops, that's what I get for being stupid :( Thanks for the clarification krose. As an update, running only one memory stick and leaving the computer idle over night it's now not crashed for about 15 hours. I'm just so so so hoping it stays stable for another 24 hours or so to be able to finally...

Heh, this sounds pretty much exactly like my problem: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2228086 with very similar setups too. FWIW, I tried reinstalling without the SSD on a slower HDD and stil got the freezes and/or random poweroff/on's..and I've also changed everything except RAM...

Earlier today I flashed my Maximus motherboard just to make sure I have the latest bios (I did flash the earlier Asus board as well so that was never the problem), and am currently running on a single 4mb stick of RAM. I'll be running each of my sticks for at least 48 hours (since there's never...

Thanks for the swift response once again ketchup (and all of you), I'll try the voltage increase. Oh and btw; given that rather odd turnout of the hci memtest, would you guys say it's likely that the RAM (or potentially the memory controller on the CPU) is the actual problem, I'm only asking...

Hi guys, So last night I tried out the HCI memtest, but with all 4 by 4 sticks in, starting 7 instances at 1700mb each, only after a few % the following occured (in sequence although it all went fast) firefox as I had in the background doing nothing crashed simulatenously with memtest saying...

janas19: I'm from Sweden and the stores unfortunately never have that policy here :( krose: for some reason I must've written that by mistake, it's actually 4x4 sticks (and for almost all the time with the old motherboard I only really ran two of them (yeah I made sure the channels were...

Oh sorry, me being stupid again :( Yeah, problem is since I've opened/used them I don't think theyll have them returned :( Oh memory controller on the cpu, of course, me being back in..95 or something when the controller was on the motherboard :) Anyway, I'll try some standard RAM as soon as I...

Hi janas19, Thanks. Yeah perhaps you missed it (in my long cluster**** of a post it's understandable) but I actually went and bought a new motherboard (asus maximus IV) and a new PSU (a corsair 850W one) yesterday so I've basically eliminated stuff like memory controllers being the issue, it's...

Hey guys, so after trying essentially everything in my arsenal I've decided I really, really need some help here. Here's the deal: About a month ago, after my last desktop finally gave in after 4 faithful years (the harddrives), I decided to get myself a new rig instead of just buying a new...
