    I have a single artifact that comes up on scan artifacts and it only appears at one point. I am also able to make the artifact come and go. Basicly if I do something else it will bring the artifact up. Like if I am running scan artifacts then I move my mouse down to the bottom navigation bar and...

    If you are getting memory error with Core2 and haven't overclocked much. Try skipping over that fsb speed.

    I am not sure how safe it is to do this. but I hear people are having problems at like 330 fsb. I had the same problem with E6300 and DS3. adding volts, changing timings, and what ever else I could think of wouldn't help. As soon as I started up memtest at that freq it would give me lots of...
