Prime 95 crashes within a minute, 1 memtest error after 9 hours

[canadianpsycho]

I'm getting a bit PO'd...

My IC7-MAX3 died about a month ago, just got the repaired one back, and my system is totally unstable!

I'm running a 2.8C at stock, and OCZ PC3700 Gold Rev. 2 at DDR400 2.5-7-3-3 (This RAM ran 2-3-2-5 before my motherboard died)

If I try P95, it halts after 1 minute, regardless of tests run.

I ran memtest for 9 hours (62 passes), with 1 error.

Is my motherboard still hosed? Are multiple factors in play here? Is 1 error in memtest too many (especially with underclocked RAM?)

Sure, this may be a tech support issue, but I figured I'd ask here, there's usually more traffic, and if you folks will know better about the memtest question anyways.

I've either pulled or run diganostic software on my HDDs, soundcard, etc. It has to be either mobo, cpu or RAM related.

have you upped your ram voltage at all? up it first and then try again...

 

[canadianpsycho]

This is at 2.9V., sorry for not mentioning.

 

[Shimmishim]

oh, then have you tried lowering the vdimm voltage?

Which memtests did you run? Did you follow these steps???

1) Cache always ON
2) Tests 5, 8 (most memory intestive)
3) All RAM Tested.

If you come back with a few error free runs with these, then it shouldn't be your ram.

have you tried to raise your vcore? if it's failing Prime95 that fast, you might want to also raise your vcore.
