I could get it to pass any stress test I threw at it but then it would crash periodically while cruising the web, burning a dvd and what not. Trying to remember what I did. I messed with some voltage. Think it was the pch or vccio. I do know that I ended up putting it on auto and the problem went away. Let me plug in a USB keyboard and look at the BIOS to see what I jacked with.

EDIT: It was the PCH voltage. Dunno if this will help.

Well my SSD's came with 006 and Crucial says you can't back flash to the older firmware. I just wrapped up the re-install of the OS and proggies. I have a few ideas of things to test out with this fresh install with the first being testing without SP1 installed. Plus I'm going to test P95 on a HDD and SSD to see if that makes a difference. I tried all kinds of PCH volts with no help. Hell I was having this problem at stock clocks!!

Edit: Well I'm running some custom Prime95 blend right now and I just noticed my RAM is slightly warm to the touch. This is at 1.6v and default 1333mhz. I gotta go to bed but I'll have to pay close attention to those temps tomorrow. For all I know that could have something to do with it too.

New tim job on CPU + fresh OS without SP1 = everything fine at 4.7ghz. Installed the Corsair ram cooler and the memory is cool to the touch now. Next step is to install SP1 to see if things get fubarred again. Temps on the CPU are the same btw. Contact was great when I pulled the cooler off last night.

Nailin it down bro ............... :thumbsup:

It just shows you how long since I've overclocked in a case, hehe. I'm used to a bench table and fans everywhere.

I was just doing a search and ran back across this thread. The actual fix was a reg hack. Here is the thread on crucial forums. Drives work fine now. :thumbsup:

Thanks for updating us :)

Did you have high performance mode set under power settings?

I have seen mentioned that one should enable hotplugging in BIOS to get applications to work better, but I thought that was only linux based things like Gparted or other bootable apps. And I have not needed to do so.

EDIT: Holy Crap! MS has known aboutthis problem for a long time

Great stuff guys,

This has been driving me crazy

Rich I enabled high performance mode both os installs. This is a problem with RST drivers and crucial drives. LPM hax fixed my issue like everyone else on crucial forums. You guys need a pic guide on how to to this? I know I had to create the reg entries before running the .reg file.

No pics needed here, but feel free. Glad you got it sorted out!

Intel RST10 drivers are apparently causing issues with lots of newer drives. OCZ and corsair both have recommendations on using MS drivers with certain drives.
