I just installed my rig in sig this week and was overclocking easily to 3500MHz with 1.456V and never going above 47C. The ram (Mushkin DDR2 800) was running at 774MHz I believe. Orthos was stable for about 9 hours.
Then I switched to 440 x 8 with ram at 880MHz and 2.2V for better mem performance. Now Orthos still ran for 8 hours stable, but when I woke up, and tried to stop the benchmark and jump on the internet, windows went crazy, firefox wouldn't open (initialization errors) so I restarted. It wouldn't boot however, and the Bad BIOS checksum came up (I'm using 0404). It went through the cycle where it looks for .ROM files, and finally found the windows dvd and said it was loaded successfully. However, when I rebooted it kept doing the same thi.ng... reloading the BIOS. So I cleared the CMOS, and then tried to power up and now I get nothing but lights and fans. No beep no post no display.
Should I keep messing with it or just try to RMA as soon as possible. (I ordered it only 2 weeks ago, so I should be within the timeframe)
