DPAD stats MIA

[Assimilator1]

Though my stats posting are errr .......somewhat irregular they are going to be missing for a while longer than usual.

On Sunday night after having graphical corruption in Guild Wars (again) I tried to reboot my main PC & it failed to at the blue windows 'starting' screen , BSOD 'Fatal system error' & then it powers down the HDDs! :Q great! .
So far I've eliminated the PSU & it's probably not the HDDs as they stay powered up in DOS & the Bios & I've been able to see the folders in a DOS app.
Memtest86+ was showing some errors & I'm in the process of testing different RAM sticks & the mbrd, stick 1 in No1 channel has passed so far.

My stats template & links are on that machine so hence currently no stats, I am hopefully that I can pull off the relevant data if need be by plugging the HDD from that rig into this one when time & testing allows.

Oh also my main PC is a Q6600 @3GHz which was doing the bulk of my output for SETI (3 cores) & nearly all for DPAD (1 core), I've got this rig doing SETI 24/7 instead but it's just a Sempron 3100 @2.5GHz so it won't even do a 1/4 of my quads output!.

Bummer. I hope its an inexpensive fix.

Well both RAM sticks have passed memtest in channel 1, so far 1 has failed in channel 2 I'm guessing the other one will too (though I'm testing to be sure).[edit] no it didn't! wth!? retesting both sticks in channel 1.
Looks like the mbrd's gone bad on channel 2 . What a PITA though ,means I gotta re-install windows+ programs all over again!, man I only did that 1 yr ago!.

I'm going to RMA the mbrd but I can't be without my rig for weeks, so I'm just going to use this opportunity to buy a better mbrd with 45nm quad support . Hopefully one that'll overclock better too.In the meantime I'll see if I can fix windows on it & hobble along on 1 RAM channel.

Anyone In the UK or Europe going to want buy my RMAed mbrd?
MSI P6N Plat, Nvidia 650 chipset. Ask for more info.

Main rig back up in 'limp home' mode ,running just 1 RAM stick.
So I'll able to do stats again , probably tomorrow.

Hmm, rereading my previous post I'd forgotten that 1 stick failed in channel 2! ,well I can test with more well known progs (to me) now I can get into windows!.
