Now, after a few solid months with RAM @ 1866MHz and CPUNB @ 2600MHz, I tried bumping it up above those and one or both are fried again.

And unfortunately, I spoke too soon. It's still turning off.

Just off. Not a Windows shutdown. Instant power off.


You're saying the memory and/or North Bridge is fried? Do you mean just not working with your setting in the BIOS, or literally damaged?

If the speed of the communications link between the North Bridge chipset and the processor is beyond a stable speed that one or the other or both can work with, IMO an instant power off is not a bad reaction.

That may be one of the few things that could be done in the situation where a basic link between two interdependent pieces of hardware fails.

That seems to be unbelievable to you. If so, why?

You may need to clear the BIOS before the PC will start again with the unusable frequency you selected.
