memory is messing up

[computerguy1337]

so i overclocked my computer to 3 ghz and i ran ortho and after 1 minute my computer started beeping and my computwers scroll lock is going on and of what could be the couse of this problem

Beeping is often an over/undertemp or over/undervoltage or over/underrpm warning, controlled in the BIOS. Since you were running Orthos, my guess is over-temp. Next time, monitor your temps while you run Orthos.

Well you have two kinds of memory there, so that is not good at all. Also your motherboard is limited to a 1,95 V for the ram so I would try to keep the ram under 800 mhz because it should surely become unstable at more then 800 mhz. You should also give us some information about what you have changed during overclocking.

I'll go w/ error8 here and suggest you test your max stable ram speed w/ 1.95V (trusting error8 that he knows that your mobo is limiting your Vddr to 1.95V) by lowering the multi on your cpu and testing w/ memtest86+/prime95 (small ftts). I don't agree that mixing RAM is the of your problem. You may want to test the ram seperatly then together (to find a bad stick and see, for your own curiosity, which pair may be limiting you), but mixing ram now isnt like mixing ram in the Athlon XP/P4 days.
Yes you should give us your FSB:MULTI:Vcore:Vddr(1.95V?):Vnb.

Actually, you'd want to use large FFT's. Small FFT's is for testing the CPU only. My guess is that it's the motherboard warning about the CPU temp. The OP may not have his heatsink mounted/seated correctly.

ok so i fixed the ram problem as i was upping my fbs to 250 multiplyer down to 12 i didnt change the ht multiplyer to x4 making the ht 1000 instead of what i had it at x5 making it 1250 and ram was not stable at that with the low voltage so i fixed that and now computer is clocked to 3.00 ghz and it ran orthos for 18 hours no errors i also now overclocked my 8800 to 613 / 1030 / dont remember the shader it runs real well did a benchmark on it went from stock avg 90 fps to 101 fps and went up quite a bit on 3d mark cant remember how much tho but clocked score was 22185 dont know if that is good or not but i think it is cant remember stock score forgot to right it down but thanks for all the help just reading what other ppl say on the forum with there problems helped a bunch thanks all

I'm drunk when I post sometimes (as I am now) but myocardia is right, large FTTS (4096) test ram, small (64) test cpu. Sorry, I dont scrutenize myself as much when im drunk
