What am I doing wrong? Pictures inside

[vegoen]

I'm trying to overclock my Dominator 1600s 3 x 1GB

I have a P35 Deluxe. Icore7 920

Here are pics of my OC settings:

Any time I try to go higher than 1282MHZ the computer shuts off and restarts.

You might try the memory and storage forum. They might know more, but your CPU can also affect this, and of course the motherboard.

Yes, there is a correct forum section for your memory located Memory and storage

Give us a "Play by Play" of the order of things you've done.

Giving you the more aligned answer needs more participation on your part. To simply say your memory is bad might be accurate but how do we know if you've tested it or not. Think of the reader when you write, it helps.

Testing tools = Memtest HCI which IMO is > all other memory testers. Next try LinX then if you want, try Prime95 Large FTT or FFTs. It's been so long since i used it I forgot...

Good Luck

See what CPU Ratio setting is. Even though you are setting DDR3-1282, the RAM ratio may be pushing it higher than it is. Try CPU-Z and see what speed the RAM is running at.

Also set the CPU voltage manually to 1.31V and QPI voltage to 1.31V as well. Make sure to lock PCIexpress speed to 100 not Auto.

VDIMM should be set to 1.64 as it defaults to 1.5V and that will cause instability with these modules.

Isn't a P35 deluxe a LGA 775 and an I7 920 is a LGA 1366? No wonder you're having trouble.
