LinX stable for 10hrs but problems booting after overnight powerdown

[MyLeftNut]

Parts:
C2D E6400 @ 3.6Ghz
Abit IX38
Crucial Ballistix Tracer 4x1gb D9GMH
Silverstone Olympia 650W PSU

Volts:
CPU 1.55v
vFSB 1.5v
vMCH 1.55v
Memory:
450mhz 4-4-4-12 @2.25-2.3v (had to recently up the volts, used to be at 2.1v)


So I got this weird problem with my overclocked system. It's LinX stable for 10+ hrs, but if I shut it off overnight it won't boot up properly again. The Post Code on the indicator gets stuck at "0d". If I take out 1 stick of ram, it'll boot up properly, after which I would have to power back down and put the stick of ram back in and then it'll finally boot up properly. Any ideas to what it could be? I'm thinking it's the Crucial Ballistix that are dying, but it passes stress tests without problems.

vFSB of 1.5v and 1.55v for a CPU is very high. How are your temps? Also, if you have to run your RAM on more than 2.1v, then it's probably dying. I'd recommend backing off on your OC.

Yeah, I was using vFSB 1.5v just to be sure it's adequate, but it's back down to 1.45v. I've been running 1.55v for vCore for 2.5 years on this cpu now.

You very well may have degraded that chip. I believe the commonly accepted max for 65nm 24/7 was 1.5V

he has problems when he has 2 sticks in and no problems when he as 1 stick in?

is your dram voltage or any voltage set to auto?

nah then removing 1 ram stick would of played no benifical role..


OMG I FOUND YOUR PROBLEM!!!
Your ram is dying!!

Tracers @ 2.1V = asking for it... expecially under heavy load..

memtest the ram @ stock.... then lower your voltage to 1.95!!! 2.1 is seriously ASKING for it.

my guess would be bad ram.

I'm running D9GMH, it's 4 sticks. I have to take out 1 stick to bootup, power down, put the stick back in for it to boot up. The funny thing is, it memtests fine for 12hrs. It's just that the volts required are slowly creeping up. I've always needed around 2.0-2.1 to run 450mhz @4-4-4-12 even when newly bought.

yeah i know tracers...

which is sad cuz if one of them pop's you wont get those bin anymore...

Trust me dude... tracers are very flakey with high voltage.. i lost a lot of pairs, and had to do a lot of RMA's, but crucial was awesome.

they dont like voltage more then 1.95V and if you do, think of them like a cheetah... there uber fast... but they die down fast as well.
