My Duron 1GHz which was never overclocked on an Asus A7V MB, just died followed by the TBred B 2100XP in my sig within 24 hrs. I am wondering why my Tbred died though. I have been having problems with my bios Epox 8RDA+ scrambling and just freezing during boot up. This was random. I am trying to figure out if its MB that killed the processor or just my greed to max out processor with high voltages. I have had this chip for 6 mths, it would max out at 2350Mhz stable. I mostly operated it between 1.7-1.975V, 35 -40 degrees watercoled and never beyond. I was trying to overclock it when suddenly it wont boot, just the dreaded FF code, it turns out the processor died during this process. I just ordered a boxed DTL3C-0310 from excaliber. I dont trust this MB to put a new CPU into it, do yu guys think the death of the procssor was inevitable or the MB killed it prematurely or should I toss the EPOX MB to the dumpster
