I ran memtest on my recently overclocked memory and it passed 12/13 tests, I consider this pretty stable. OC'ed CPU passed Prime95 for 10 hours. Temps are a inline (+15C over ambient case = 50C under full load).
Played a little UT2003 last night, after about 20 minutes my PC beeps and the screen becomes a colorful and garbled mess. I reboot and everything appears to be fine.
The GPU is also oc'ed, but have played a lot of 3D games with the same overclock in the past with no problems (prior to OC'ing the rest of the system).
I tried raising the vdimm to 3.0v and the PC worked fine for a bit yesterday, then when I turned it on this morning it blue screened. Reduced the memory back to 2.9v and it booted fine. I noticed similar issues with raising the vdimm to 3.0v when initially configuring/testing the overclock, seems to do the bsod every time.
At this stage I'm going to assume the memory's overheating at 3.0v, but I wanted to be sure it's not something else. do a lot of music recording on this machine and walked away from oc'ing because I needed 101% stability (which I achieved by not oc'ing). I couldn't resist grabbing a little extra power from this barton, though, and so now I'm back to dealing with flakey behavior...
Thoughts? Could this be a video issue with the AGP too far out of spec for an all-in-wonder card?
