Ok, i bumped the core up to 1.85 from 1.825 on my t-bird 1.33 and now I seem to be getting random restarts, i wouldnt think this little voltage change would make that much diff, but I dont know. Here is my sys:
Asus A7A266
T-bird 1.33 o/c to 1533 768megs pc133
2 plextor scsi drives (with adaptec card)
40gig maxtor ide hd
sb live
Elsa Geforce2 gts
Netgear NIC
300watt powersupply

Would this be the PSU, or anyone have any ideas

Oh i forgot to add, after it shuts down, if I look at the mb a green light is still on, on the board, if i unplug my psu after a couple mins it goes out but the comp still doesnt start rite up, I have to unplug the power cable to the mb, after I plug it back in it starts rite up.

let me know

i think you are overheating, what type of hsf are you using? You are on the upper end of the ceiling for an air cooled 1.33.

never mind, BTW, don't keep posting this all over the place, keep it in one spot, makes things easier on all of us. THe psu could be the problem, i know some people that swear a 1GHZ plus AMD cpu has to have a 400W psu or the system will blow up after several months. Your SBLive has been known to cause probs with the VIA chipset(never got my value to work on the amd system with the MSI K7T Turbo.).
