I have never heard of anything like this happening before so here goes:
I have a P3 850 cB0 stepping
Asus CUSL2-C Motherboard
No Name PC-133 SDRAM which I am running at 2-2-2
My problem resides with DirectX 8.
If I install the operating system (Win98SE) and DirectX After the machine is overclocked I don't run into many problems, unless of course the machine just can't handle it. For instance; I had my machine set for 1003 MHz, before the install. I installed everything without a problem. I ran 3DMark2000 v1.1 without a problem either. I tried running MW4 and my box would drop to desktop after a while so I just figured that my speed settings were too high... So I went into the bios, lowered the processor speed (by adjusting the front side bus) and rebooted and now my directX (8.0) locks up when I either try to run a game, or try to run the dxdiag.exe or try and run 3DMark2k...
Has anyone ever heard of such nonsense? Could it be my cheap ram that I'm running?
It's virtually impossible to correctly uninstall directX. I spent most of yesterday using uninstallers, but they don't kill all of it. Therefore I just made a disk image and continue to reinstall that.
Any hints? Or do I have to reinstall everytime I want to adjust the fsb or the core voltage?
