I'm sorry to hear that your system is still not running as it should (with no crashes)! 😞

When I was mentioning to test your system in the other thread, I meant to prevent this... I still sustain my idea that you have to do some testing. However, since your previous thread, I've learned a lot about how is better to do that (and yes, prime95 should NOT be your first choice): http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?15051-Best-way-to-test-new-builds-and-fresh-OCs&country=&st...

Based on the thread I linked above, if I would be you, I would set back the BIOS to it's defaults and run Memtest first...

What exactly do you mean by "crashes" anyway? Your system freezes or shuts down suddenly or you get a BSOD? kkn's idea in your other thread is still valid, and would really help to figure out the problems...

i have been running stress test on it trouth out these weeks and bye crashi meen my mouse stops the hole screen freezes and i cant do anythinge not even ctrl alt delate

Go into BIOS F5 to restore defaults then F10 to save and exit.

Does your system crash after doing that. Please test and report back.

OK your system is not stable at defaults - I would suggest you begin the problem solving process in earnest.

Download Memtest 4.2 ( I use the USB download) and test each stick of ram individually at defaults.

Report back one all your sticks have been tested - a successful memtest is two completed cycles without error.

http://www.memtest.org/download/4.20/memtest86+-4.20.usb.installer.zip

Download and extract the installer.
Decide what USB stick you are going to use. Remember all information will be erased from that USB stick.
Begin the install process.
Point the application at your USB stick.
Let the application finish.
Reset your PC
F8 to get to the boot menu option
Select your USB stick


There you go
