You are probably getting plenty of power from the strip. Have you tried unplugging anything while you are using it to see if there is a difference?

Yeah that's worth looking at. The only thing is, that OCZ is AFTER rebates. I can get that 650TX for 87ish with free shipping and no rebates.
Also I think Corsair units are better than OCZ ones, I'm not sure on that one though.

rob,
set everything back to default and try dvd-rb/cce again. something just ain't right. btw, this is the PSU I recommend corsair 620HX. modular, powerful and almost silent.

cincyrob,
I reviewed what I could see of that error message, and if I was you, I would RMA the CPU. I had a similar problem using DVDRB and changing the CPU solved it. Something in the instruction set is not working properly as you are getting security errors where there should be none. That's what that Invalid Signature means. They go a little overboard in claiming that it's been shut down to prevent damage, but that's M$ for you! LOL I would get another CPU while you can still deal through who you bought it from. Intel's very good about that, but it takes a bit longer. If you do have to deal with Intel, they will want the numbers on the heat spreader on the CPU and the tiny numbers on the edge of the cPU board itself, just outside the heat spreader. It will take about a week!
Best Regards,
Russ

Rob,
You have run memtest, and I've never seen memtest fail to detect bad Ram, while it's possible that it could be something with the MB, all the signs point to the CPU. Hang in there Buddy, It will all come right in the end. I also know if there's nothing wrong with the CPU, they'll send it back, or at least contact you if they have any questions. Just play dumb if they do! LOL!! Intel doesn't support overclocking! LOL!! Yup, but they sure want you to make it perform better than the AMDs! They just don't come out and say that! ROFL!!
Best Regards,
Russ
Oh! Intel sent me an E-mail that they had shipped the CPU and it came the next day!

beautiful!!!
cincyrob- ddp once told me about some sort of chemical build up that occurs on the ending gold pins of RAM (can come from factory?), his solution is to gently rub a very soft eraser on those parts of your ram to wipe of the chemicals.....well it worked for me:)

Yeah! More Quad core buddies!
I got mine to be stable at 3.4. I'm not taking it any higher for now.

@ZOSO
the Q6600 are dirt cheap right now $199 at microcenter. dont know if ya have one there in indy but they are cheap and comeing down with the newer quads comeing out.
http://microcenter.com/specials/catalogs/broadsheet.html
i cant get in touch with intel for a RMA until monday when they are open. guess im gonna shut her down tomorrow and get the CPU out and cleaned up for shipment.
i did get a email from them telling me to check my CPU fan and make sure its connected properly so i might/will try that tomorrow.

Get a Q6600, you wont regret it! I know I don't.
Sure my E6750 had a little higher clock speed, but I think this i smuch quicker. Get some apps that support Quad Cores(movie encoding) and it's all fun.
Plus I hear many games are going to be using all four cores now.

Put your thinking cap on man! The Logical one! LOL!! If you wait and take the 8400-8500 now, and wait on the new Quads coming out. Besides, the entry level of the new quads has to do better than the Q6600, otherwise Intel would still have to keep making them, and they want you to buy the next generation CPU. You should be able to get in the door, so to speak at a price not to far away from the going price at the time, for the Q6600. If it overclocked better ( and don't tell me about 3.4GHz), many are happy with around 3.15GHZ. When you've been able to leave it at 3.4GHz for a month or so doing all your work and games on it, we'll see what speed you have to run it at to fold with it! Folding is the the King when it comes to tests. If it will fold, it should do just about anything without crashing. Just be sure you pick the shorter WUs. If it won't complete the WU, it ain't stable!
Best Regards,
Russ
Sorry for the "new quads" bit, but I can't remember what they are called! ROFL
