So I have quite a strange issue with this setup. Every time I shut down for an extended period of time (overnight usually). The next day when I boot it up is BSOD's, every single time. Doesn't matter if I run it at 3 cores, 4 cores, or even as a stock X2 550 at completely stock settings. All it takes to make it work is going into the bios and changing the cores that its using to one and back to the other and it works fine. Once it's up and running, there are no problems at all. It will pass IBT at 2/3/4 cores 10+ runs once its up. Any ideas on whats happening?

bump the vNB up a notch. (mine is at 1.2)

re-check / loosen your memory timings.

Try disabling ACC (whatever it is called in the BIOS - EC Firmware, Unleash Mode, etc.) and see if it fixes the issue.
