i recently upgraded my system, replacing my old TB 1.2GHZ, CodeGen 350W PSU and PC2100 DDR. this my new system specs:
because of my 8K7A+ i can't change the multiplier, it's stuck on 15. so i can only up the FSB when overclocking. everything runs fine at default 133MHZ FSB, 100% stable. when the FSB is set to 140, the system freezes after running it underload for few minutes. when the FSB is set to 150, it hangs at windows loadup screen, get the blue screen saying some file is corrupt or can't be read.
i've tried to up the vcore to 1.85v and relaxing the ram time to 2.5. but the system still freezes at 140MHZ FSB after running underload for few mins.
the CPU should be able to goto 2.4GHZ and the ram is PC2700 so it should goto at least 166MHZ. so what's holding me back? the mobo? the RAID chip? please give me some suggestions.
thanks,
