Hi
I've had the ocassional random BSOD where memory dumps were done but not recently, I've just check the settings and it is set to create a small memory dump and I've disabled auto restart. But like i said before, I've not a BDSO when my pc reboots from heavy load. Even on the chance that happens really fast, I'd have thought I would get a glimpse of Blue on screen.
I ran Memtest+ via dos this morning, left on for over 10hrs, its did 9.7 cycles and zero errors which is good. Will try the Intel Burn test next. Question about the burn test. Is it important to use all available memory? I've noticed the amount of memory changes depending on how severe the test is performed and the more severe the test the longer it takes. I did a quick test last night before bed, left it for about 40min on the Extreme setting for 10 cycles and I didn't even get one line of report!
Going round to my mate's tonight to test the gtx580 again, this time with furmark and OCCT. A guy at work suggested running the GTX580 in the second PCIE slot. He reckons its possibly a dying motherboard where the voltage regulation is somehow screwed and not making the PCIE slot work properly. I'll give that a shot later after testing round at my mates. One the plus side, I found a vendor who still has P7P55D variants! don't need to worry about sourcing a replacement mobo now.
