Cleared CMOS, swapped out the Super Talent RAM and popped the Buffalo back in and running merrily along !!
For now, I've lowered my OC from 3.2 to 3.05, as I've heard that Buffalo was possibly using cheaper Elpedia RAM on these sticks instead of Micron D9 stuff, but another poster confirmed from Buffalo that all Firestix are using Micron.
There's no way to tell, but I know that I got this CPU to 3.6 on my first OC try (accidental OC - I didn't do the math until I was in Windows and saw it set at 3.6)
So, all ends well, just freaked me out when I wasn't expecting it, altho I darn well should have known better.
CoD4 .. here I come !!! Bar, hold still while I toss spoons and Skorpion rounds at you.
