i'll second the whacked out crucial mem. I had 4 sticks of double sided balistix, 2 of which overclocked awsome for months, then one day they wouldnt run properly anymore, then a few days later they ALL quit at the same time, i cant run them in any of my motherboards, not even one at a time. they'll boot, but fail windows boot. i cant believe they could all quit at the same time, and i'm sure some will blame the OC, but 2 of the sticks were barly ever overclocked, and at the time of failure they wernt overclocked at all. I've actually talked to a few people around edmonton that have had 4 sticks of crucial go bad at the same time on them too, i have to wonder if there are other circumstanses to this problem. one fella told me that the p35 chipsets were causing the problem, but i dont think so becuase though 2 of the sticks were running on a p35 for a long time, 2 of them have never seen a p35, and they quit while running on a 780i... so i dunno. but theres definatly something funky with crucial...
