Ok guys.
I have posted a lot of things here about my axia 1 ghz not wanting to go higher than 1380 mhz. 41 C idle 45-46 C loaded. 1.74 Volt
Today I wanted to see if the cpu cooling really was the problem. Which many have told me.
I opened all my windows in my room so the system temp decreased from 31 C to 26 C.
I highered the Volt to the maximum 1.92 and increased the speed at some different settings between 1400 mhz and 1500 mhz. The cpu never rised above 45 C and after the load bar in win2k the bluescreen appeared. I got angry and shutted down the computer for a few minutes and mounted my soundcard and mpeg card.
After this I started the computer again at 1430 mhz and windows started to load but just right after the icons showed up on the desktop the blue screen appeared again.
So I came to the conclusion that it has to be the Northbridge not cool enough, it probably cooled down a bit when the computer was off.
I have done some bad work mounting a new heatsink on the northbridge which I believe highered the temp on the chipset. When the board was brand new I managed to load windows at 1440 mhz but after some prime95 I showed the bluescreen.
So donīt you guys agree with me that it probably is the northbridge that needs a better cooling solution.
I donīt see you talk about cooling the northbridge chipset very often when talking about overclocking but it would be strange if it didnīt make difference.
