Hell if I know, but the boot up is faster with the new firmware. What I'm experiencing is what the new firmware is supposed to fix. Well not to a T, but something like it. Freezing and slow response and such.

As far as a voltage spike... idk man. I mean at first I was thinking the same thing because I only noticed it when I stopped the test. Then I noticed if I let it run long enough that it would pull the same stunt while running. Running prime blend now to see what it does. I'm thinking my next steps are:

1. Fresh BIOS flash
2. New OS
3. Swapping RAM slots
4. Switch RAM
5. I don't know....

Hardlock?
Hardlocks are usually heat or power related.

Eventually yes but it starts first with me trying to make say realtemp the active window. Then it will "stop responding". After that I will hard lock immediately or just be able to move the mouse but can't open any programs or windows. If it doesn't hard lock I will see the little spinning thing most of the time like it's trying to do something.

Got it. I understand now. That happens to me sometimes if I lean on a system too hard for too long benching. It's a heat issue usually, in my circumstances anyway.
