    "New" PC keeps freezing / crashing!

    Calculating GTL ref voltages I'm not quite sure whether I'm calculating the GTL ref voltages the right way (haven't applied them yet anyways): NB: VTT x 0.67 CPU: VTT x 0.68 not sure about the 67%/68% either..read that somewhere on the interwebz :laugh: VTT (auto): 1.12V VTT (new): 1.3V NB...

    "New" PC keeps freezing / crashing!

    @TheMailMan78: I adjusted my voltages >because< the system kept freezing a whole lot with stock settings. @phanbuey: I uninstalled vista :D I'll keep an eye on the vcore though (and adjust the gtl voltages). @m4gicfour: I recently read that somewhere about the whole 790i series..ASUS seems...

    Thanks for looking up the GTL ref settings :) I tried to do that myself but couldn't find anything :\ Agreed - the vcore's actually pretty high compared to the voltage in the bios. Should I disable LLC at this point? NB voltage is 1.5V.

    1. yep, its not affected by quad sli 2. nope, manufacturer timings 3. all additional features are turned off 4.0 CPU voltages: VCore - 1.2875V, PLL - 1.5V, VTT: 1.3V 4.1 Mem voltage: 1.88V (its actually running at 1.9V) 5. CPU-Z (under load): Screenshot => no previous owner 6. which one...

    with all do respect but defragmenting or cleaning up the registry does not solve that kind of a problem (i reinstalled xp about a month ago anyways). I detached the 2nd card yesterday -> I'm having these problems for about a year now (with the 2nd card connected - obviously :D)...

    "New" PC keeps freezing / crashing!

    1. the bios is up-to-date 2. latest drivers for all components are already installed 3. how does defragmenting help me fix deadlocks ?:> 4. temps are up there^^ 5. the card does not need to be connected (consider it as not plugged in - i detached it from the psu yesterday for those of you...

    "New" PC keeps freezing / crashing!

    @Fatal: its crashing random @IINexusII: why would I have to do that? I was afraid that the SB suffers from the heat of the second card but now that its not connected to the PS its not heating up at all.
