Hey guys long time since i've been in the memory forums!!

I have been running a core 2 duo E6300 at 3.010ghz and my DDR2 Patriot PDC22G5300LLK 2x1gig sticks at 860 mhz 5-5-5-15 not problem.

I figured well i have Vista x64 so i should just be able to slap 2 more sticks in and be good (boy was i wrong!).

I bought 2 more gigs of Pat PDC22G6400LLK which is rated for 800mhz anyway.

Any way i started booting into Vista and it blue screened and said irq_not_equal_but_less_than or something like that.

Well then i tried running at 2.8ghz and 800mhz on the ram. Which after that i had no problems.

Was this issue basically due to more stress on either the CPU or Northbridge not being able to handle it?
 
Try giving your nb a lil more voltage, maybe thatll help...... what vdimm were you using and do you know if those have d9's?
 
I tried bumping the NB volts a little and helped a little but not much.

Not sure what chips these have on them. I've been running the VDImm at 2.1v.

Have you tried the new ram by itself to see how fast it will clock?

Vista is more sensitive to OC'ing, especially memory OC'ing.

What makes you think Vista is more "sensitive" to overclocking? This is not true.
