Odd. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but whenever I click on that link I get taken to some odd site to do with toy horses.

Also: cupcake

Also: I'm using 158.19 at the mo. Will try updatermerating to 158.22 and let you know if it makes fuck all difference.

if you copy that link, it'll work.

but horsing is good too

Nvidia drivers should be removed completely before reinstalling new ones. I'm told bits even stay around after a Control Panel uninstall, and was recommended the driver cleaner thingy. Unfortunately having an nVidia motherboard it also removes the network, on-board sound, RAID and mobo drivers at the same time, which is a PitA.

Trying to find out what board drivers, nVTune and all the rest were current at the time of graphics driver X is next to impossible, but most have issues with a GPU driver rev that isn't compatible - so you're stuck with manual BIOS tuning and have to do your own stability tests.

I got tired of the shag and just used the graphic driver uninstall, so it wasn't technically clean. In the end I decided I just wanted the option to have the "latest of everything" and with the current XP+8800 mess only Fista gives me that choice.

I too have selected more conservative memory timings, makes next-to-no difference in benchmarks - so the only difference (apart from the fuck-off huge hole in my wallet) is that I'll probably be able to use this memory for my next few machines.

No-one ever suspects...

All of that

</Best Practice>Personally, the only time I do anything like a clean install is when I have problems, Otherwise I just install drivers over drivers. with no issues. <Best Practice>

The newer Drivercleaner (as in my horse link) lets you remove bits separately. which is nice

My ears are bleeding! I still clicked on that dam link and I forgot my speaker are up on my powerful Hi-Fi so i think with the Windows wide open the whole Village heared my song

I appear to have fixed my issues (Remember not just beef related, I was only able to Run Orthos for about 10 mins before crashing)

Lowering my RAM latency (Speed is still the same) sorted it out and I just played many rounds of beef without a single crash whereas before it would crash every single time within 5 mins.

I'd certainly suggest running it through memtest a few times.

ISTR 680i works best with a ram voltage around 2.1 (any higher than that and RMA:ENGAGE after a month or so)

do you mean actually lowering the numbers (5 -> 4) or slowing them down (4 -> 5)?

if you did the former, it'd be rather odd that it made your PC more stable...

Lowering the speed I guess, so increasing the numbers 4 to 5 etc. it's still running at 800mhz

Planning to leave memtest on while I'm at work tomorrow.

Also will remember to manually set voltage (Which I planned but forgot )

Apparently to fix my beef, I had to reinstall it. Twice.

Nope.
