ive posted about my processor before, but im really stumped now. I just cant get my CPU completely stable, even under default conditions! I cant run any benchmarking programs because they all crash or find errors. dont even think about overclocking! I can definantly overclock my RAM, ive actually had it at ddr 300 before and that runs terrific. Is my processor dying? or could it be my PSU? Ive checked both the bios and smartguardian and both say my processor is running pretty cool, but my voltage is at 1.47! Im kind afraid to go any higher. Check my system specs to see my hardware setup.
 
1.47 is a bit high for x2 processors. But if temperatures are bellow 50 there is nithing to be afraid. I've gave to my X2 4600 1.5V max and on sonic tower temps on full load were below 40.

An stable isssue, did you try to put some other RAM
 
my RAM should be able to take the timings that i have set 2225 it is a set of OCZ platinum 4800 after all! I have it set at about 2.7 volts at the moment, im pretty sure there is enough juice being fed to them since ive had lots of success in memtest (no halts). Im going to run some benchies and provide pictures so maybe you guys can see what kind of errors im getting.
 
heres the Aquamark error i get and every futuremark program i use gives a comparable error

its your mobo most likely. dfi did a piss poor job of implementing the ati chipset. board is more unstable than a troubled child on crack.
 
Even on the new CFX3200 mobos?
 
Nothing wrong with my one........
