yes fast writes has been directly linked to system instability on many machines. disable it in the BIOS or in ATT and see how you go.

Technicly it diden't have to mean majority when I said "many".

i was getting random lockups when my memory timing was on 'auto' in my bios.

looked up the specs for my ram and set them accordingly.

fastwrites disabled also helped.
