i put it on .. put some artic silver II with my alpha pep66 w/black delta ..
ok i try to run at 10x145 .. boots up fine ..
but friggin 3dmark2000 crashes saying corrupt file ..
i boot up again this time at 11 x 137 (1501)
working good for now .. but i know it will crash in 3d apps or games most likely .. using stock voltage .. if i raise the voltage my pc wont boot ..
wut the hell could be crashing my 3d apps and games ..
its on a KT7A Raid mobo with the WZ bios ..
mobo temp is 22celcius .. case temp is 24 celcius and tbird temp is 41 celcius right now (1501)
even when i overclocked before on my other chip my games and 3d marks would crash ..
im using a hercules geforce 2 ultra
386 megs of kingmax pc150 tinybga
sb live 5.1 platinum
3com 10/100 nic

can anyone freakin help me

could it be my northbridge is getting to hot ??
should i replace the fan with a blorb ??
could that be holding me back ..

what about all the 3d **** crashing .. any ideas

please help me ..

do i need water ?

well I dont have any Idea if this will help but was your pc overclocked when you installed or downloaded 3dmark,they said it would cause problems if you did,but it sometimes( 3dmark )crashes on me and wont run after crashes and usually crashes in the same spot as before saying corrupt file or the such and this is without anything being o/ced and it may just be your video card drivers ,try some different ones,also see what the bus speed of your video card is,That is about all I can think of to tell you

i know it sounds dumb, and it probably wont work for you...but i found that after trying and trying and trying to oc higher by upping the voltage and it not working...I actually lowered the voltage and was able to oc higher. like i said, probably wont work, but its worth a shot...isnt it?

Try removing all your PCI cards and then overclocking. Sometimes your NIC and sound cards do not like to be overclocked at all.

What wattage PSU are you using? All other settings being the same. If you only raise your core voltage and your PC wont post, that is a strong sign that you just demanded too much from your PSU. A sure sign that you are near the PSU limit is an audible change in the pitch (speed) of your 12V fans. They will actually speed up and using a hardware monitor program, you can watch the voltage change when the CPU goes from idle to loaded. Also, you will see the +5V go down a little bit further each bump up in core voltage. That means you are approaching "the wall".
Second poossible cause is the need to bump your I/O voltage a little when you increase the core voltage. No set standard here. Just try and see if it helps.

Are you running raid in bios? If you are not useing raid try turning it off. I had trouble with lockups with a sound blaster live. I downloaded the latest drivers for it and disabled raid in the bios. That stoped my lockups. Hope this helps. Let me know if it does.
Oh yea. tec support told me not to use the #5 pci slot for sound cards.
