I got an issue here, I hope someone can assist.

Had multiplier at x10 FSB at 300, Gskill LE memory at 3-2-2-5, running sweet in Sli on 2x6800GT's at 415/1100.

Other system parts:

Winchester 3500+ (MACHII Cooled @ 3Ghz)
Raptor 74GB SATA (not raid)
Seagate 200GB SATA
Optorite DVD-Writer
Audigy 2 ZS
OCZ Powerstream 520w

Superpi 1m @ 34secs
Superpi 32m @ 29m 12secs
3dmark2001se @ 24904
3dmark03 @ 20901
3dmark05@ could not run had some issues with Sli

Unit was running well for over a week.

Yesterday I fired her up as usual but unit would not post. Set-up speaker and got the memory failure post, tried all DIMMS after clearing BIOS/CMOS/Battery each time still got same problem. Even tried some OCZ PC4400EL but got the same message.

Has anyone else had this problem?

What was the outcome??

HELP ME OBI-WAN KENOBI YOUR MY ONLY HOPE!! :(

I had a similar problem "system failed memory test". System would boot 7 out of 10 times. I could usually get it going again by reseating the DDR. I spoke with ASUS and OCZ. ASUS recommended placing fiber washer on my stand-offs (thought it was a grounding error). OCZ recommended bumping the DDR voltage to 2.75. AUTO mode sets the voltage at 2.6. So far I took OCZ's advice and everything has been stable for 24 hours. Ran MEMTEST86+ all night and rebooted at least 8 times with no problems.

Hope this helps...
