I have a few questions:
1. What the does, Device\hard disk 2\D - disk not ready to access, error mean? I always get this error eventually when I overclock. Usually whats happens is a program will not close or hang, then my comp. crashes. When I looked in the event viewer, it records the error stated above. I have 2 hd's on channel 1 & the other, 120gb on channel 3. It happens when I set it anywhere from 2.0ghz to 2.1ghz or 190 to 200. I also have my multiplier set at 10.5. My vcore ranges from 1.63 to 1.68. When I raise it, the same result happens. Does this mean that the disk is going bad or is this the result of overclocking & how could this error be fixed?

2. Currently I have some 1x512mb cosair pc3200 twinx platinum ramsinks and 1x512mb cosair pc3200xms black ramsinks. When I run that sandra soft software and look at the mainboard & bios info. At the memory section the cosair twinx reads: 1x512mb 3200..........CL2(CL2 up to 200mhz & CL2.5 up to 200mhz. The XMS reads: 1x512mb 3200.........CL2.5(up to 167mhz). The numbers in between are the same, just the end is different. My first question is will the XMS hold my back in oc'ing? I can run both at CL2. When I took it out I was able to boot into windows at 200mhz X 10.5, but when I had it in I was not, it stopped the windows loading screen. If I took the ramsink off the, supposingly XMS, what should it read on it, #'s & letters? What should the settings be for the ram 1 or 2 sticks?

3. Why when I run the cpu benchmark in sandrasi soft, the AXP2600 & AXP2800 score higher than mine if I'm at 2.1ghz or 10.5x200? What could I do to increases the performance or what setting would yall recommend?
