AthlonXP 1700+ & DFI AK-75EC Mobo

[Ramuhz]

hi guys, Ive got my athlonxp 1700+ o/c to 1670Mhz, 11x , 152FSB 1.85vcore and my system is stable as hell. Min temp : 32-35 Degrees, Max Temp 38-45 Degrees, System Min Temp: 14-16 Degrees and Max Temp: 17-20 Degrees. Im using Via Hardware Monitor 2.04 and Ive used Sisoft Sandra Benchmark Tests and the Burn-In modules, Prime95, Passmark-BurnInTest, Stability Test 5.2, 3DMark2001Se and 2000, Vulpine GL-Mark to test my system for stability and ive also ran games like Aquanox, Quake 3, Unreal and UT, and some other D3D/Opengl Games for like 30mins to 1 hour to test for any errors/crashes. There seems to be no problems at all. Looks like my overclocking is sweet, for operation in windows that is.

My problem is, when i shutdown my computer and turn it back on, My system wont start. Its like there is no video signal cuz my monitor stays blank, and I dont hear any beeps coming from my computer to indicate mem prob, Video Card Prob etc..

I have to manually hold down the power button to turn on/off my ssytem, until i get my system to turn back on.. Normally takes around 3-4 Turn On and Turn off before my ssytem comes back on. Does anybody here know what could be causing this problem? or has any1 experience this problem before and know how to resolve it?

Tnx to anybody who can help out..

Dam, I wonder why nobody ever answers my posts? Is it because Im asking the wrong question, or am I posting in the wrong section? Does my question make no sense? or just nobody knows what the answer or the solution could be?

i'm assuming this doesn't happen when you're not overclocked?

if that's right, you're problem may be that the motherboard just might not be able to handle the fsb at startup, but it's ok once the computer gets started... usually, an overclock that doesn't post doesn't get to windows, but i'm not really sure what's goin on...
