So it's probably not the RAM itself.

Something about the processor and its built-in memory
controller. Or the voltage regulators that power the
various parts there.

I think you put me on the right path in your previous message, Paul, and
once again I thank you. I've adjusted things in BIOS and reinstalled
all four RAM sticks and I'm showing 32 gigs of healthy memory and the
system has been booting flawlessly from shut-down state. All I did was
go to the memory adjustments in BIOS and try to make everything as
untweaked as possible. Here's how things look now:

All this overclocking tweaking stuff is too much for me to even want to
figure out. I do remember a few years back trying to tweak timings and
so forth, based on advice I'd either read on the internet or that you'd
given me. I just don't remember. Whatever, It had all been working
fine up until recently and I'd given it no more thought. Something must
have goosed BIOS, I dunno. It certainly wasn't me. Maybe now I can
stop thinking about it again.

Of course things may all go south any time, but right now I'm feeling
pretty good about my current setup and I've stopped looking at the
latest and greatest Asus motherboards and Intel i7 processors. Boy, you
can spend a lot of money on that stuff...

Thanks again.


Scroll down a bit further and check the other values ?
