Hi i just bought a new mobo, ram and processor:
AMD 'barton' XP 2600+ 333FSB 512k L2 cache
Asus A7N8X v.2 mobo (support for 400 FSB Barton)
Northbridge :Nvidia NFORCE 2 SPP (Ultra 400) chipset
Southbridge: Nvidia NFORCE 2 MCP chipset
Corsair XMS pc 3200 DDR C2 , 256mb stick RAM
I am having trouble overclocking this thing!
Ok I go into my bios and advanced chipset...and Set my external clock frequency to 166(333DDR) and my multiplier to 11.5. All works fine, it shows up as an XP 2600+ and all. (This is the default speed)
If I put my FSB up even 1 Mhz, My computer wont even reboot after saving the settings (I get the monitor self test screen, and my monitor eventually goes into standby). So I have to manually power off then back on. I get a message saying computer wasnt shut down properly and processor speeds are running at safe mode (1.15ghz), and I need to go correct my cpu settings.
My Core voltage is set to 1.65.
Is there anything else that you need to know before you can help me?
Why can I not raise my FSB?
Do I need to set my core voltage a tad higher?
What in the heck am I doing wrong?
Any suggestions, or anything that I am missing?
Your help is appreciated greatly!
EDIT: oops this may be the wrong forum, feel free to move to AMD section, as usual.
