im getting a random freeze and the bios reports x26 when it should be x25 (CPU speed multiplier) 
everything is running on auto except the multiplier witch is set to x25 (all stock)
turbo is off
 
as for the freeze ive ran memtest86 (every stick separately for 5 passes and together for a few hours no errors )
ive also tried linx and prime95 no errors (highest setting on both)
i have changed to a different psu and it still freezes
it freezes in both ubuntu and windows 7, vista, xp
it freezes randomly 0-10  times a day it does not matter what im doing. (ive tried changing the sata cable on the ssd it helped a little but did not solve the problem
ive tried both my gtx 470s it still freezes on both.
i may try my 7950 gpu later to see if its the gtx 470s
it be nice if i could find a way to read the north bus temp in windows so i can see if its thats whats causing the freezes
also ambant temps in my room very between 19c to 22c
below is whats in my computer  (sorry if it shows up weird paste put boxes and undo would not remove the boxes)
 
ive added 1 fan (to cool the north bus and voltage regulator)

ive never ran it long enough in safe mode to find out. i guess ill find something i can do in safe mode although sometimes freezes can take hours to a day to occur. i can just leave windows running and it won't freeze although sometimes it will.
 
unless the ubuntu live cds count as safe mode if they do it freezes on them as well but less often.

If it still freezes with an entirely different OS then running in Windows safe mode is more or less a waste of time.
You've got some kind of hardware issue. What are your CPU temps? Did you set the memory timing manually or use AUTO?
I would help a lot if you could list your BIOS settings. Here's a template to use. Just write down your settings then fill them in with your own info. I suspect with 12GB memory, you made need to loosen the timings a bit. Not uncommon.

whats your e-mail i'll send you aida64 so you can tell me what all of your temps are.

i downloaded aida64
 
temperature at idle
cpu is between 10-22 (it varies between cores) (the one that says cpu is 8c
North Bridge    41 °C  (106 °F) i think this is a little high but im not sure
VRM    36 °C  (97 °F)
temperature at load (with linx 10 mins)
cpu is between 41-52 (it varies between cores) (the one that says cpu is 36c
North Bridge    50 °C  (122 °F) i think this is a little high but im not sure
VRM    44 °C  (111 °F)

Shouldn't the DIMM Voltage be set at 1.65?

sighrus

Shouldn't the DIMM Voltage be set at 1.65?

Yup, I missed that, thanx sighrus.

i have the bios set to x25 (but it uses x26)  if i try x24 it will go to x24 then when i set it back to x25 it goes to x26  lol it's a odd problem. if i pull the ram to 1 stick it will hit x25 again  then if i put it all back in it  will reset to x26 after a few reboots.  my cpu-z banner is what it is in windows (it use to be x25)
 
i put what the bios selected just in case what it selected is to high or low. 
 
i have no programs running to overclock my cpu they make my graphics cards fan stay at 40% which is bad lol
 
also im not trying to overclock at least not yet anyways i don't want to break components till i can replace them (lack of funds)
 
lol the ram timing worked!  the last time i tried to put a ram timing in my pc refused to post...
 
lol time will tell if the freezes stop or not
 
thanks for the help ill post back if it freezes again (im testing for 3 days cause it can go that far with no freezes in some cases)

doomer1234321

it froze again.... lol about 2 min after starting wow...

Bump up your CPU VTT to 150 and change your tRFC setting to 74. Your mutiplier changing is normal. Thats the turbo function. You can disable that if you want or just manually set the multiplier  to 26
 

froze again... took much longer that time though

the above post when i said wow i meant world of warcraft. lol i got thinking about that and it sounded wrong..

That's bc your CPU default multi is 25, and that's where turbo mode works. You see, when you set to 24 (and turbo off), then reboot into BIOS and set 25, the BIOS automatically turns on turbo mode, and you get 26 from turbo mode. If you then reboot and read your BIOS, looking at turbo mode, you will see it is on, regardless of the fact that you did not turn it on. But if you increase to 26x or more, turbo can be turned off.

Is your GTX470 OCd? If so, does WOW freeze when you go back to stock settings?
 
Regardless, try IOH 1.2V, and ICH 1.15V.
You aren't running IMSM (Intel Matrix Storage Manager), are you?

Run GPU-Z with logging turned on, then after a freeze read the log just before the time of the freeze, and see what your GPU temps were. The market is filled with OCd computers and gfx cards that aren't always stable. Just bc EVGA sold it as OCd doesn't mean it is 100% stable on 100% of the cards they sell. Don't make the mistake of assuming yours cannot be unstable at the recommended preset OC settings. Even better, test it with Furmark (MSI) Kombuster Xtreme burn mode (the fuzzy donut) for 30 minutes.

So you are running two. Sorry I missed that in your OP. Don't you know that when you run two, it is strongly advised that you turn your IOH up to at least 1.2V? Try 1.3V.

Yes, try IOH 1.2 (for one gfx card) and ICH 1.15V. What about IMSM? You should be running IRST instead.
