This could have been my fault but I need your knoledge to know what I goofed up in my system. What I did was set the 133mhz fsb setting on the slocket and accedently left the 100mhz fsb jumper on the motherboard. But it booted just fine at 933 loaded windows and then came the blue screens. Now on the 100mhz fsb setting you can go to 133 it's just that everything is now overclocked by 33mhz. If I move the jumper on the motherboard to 133 it kicks in a divider to make everything run at a normal bus speed even the memory runs at 100mhz. Now even if I change the jumper setting on the motherboard to 133 and make everything run at a normal speed I get blue screens in windows, when at 933. When at 700 everything is fine. Since this accedent I have changed over to a Abit slocket and still have the same problem.

Once when I rebooted, after a blue screen @933 it went into the file checking program. Everything (the words on the screen) was jiberish none of it a language of any sort. So I turned off the comp and put it back down to 700 and it rebooted and everthing was fine.

My question is A) could it be my hard drive a Maxtor 20gig ata66 7200rpm B)My memory 128mb pc150 128mb pc100 C) My Voodoo4 4500 agp D) My processor.

Thanks

you are using both 128mb of PC150 and PC100 ram? if so, yah would be bad. that can give you trouble to run at 133mhz bus. some PC100 can perform that fsb no problem so Im not sure if that's the prob.. have u bumped that PC100 ram to 133mhz+ in the past with other machine before? If it did, then I dont think it's the memory problem.

Also, try take out the PC100 and use the PC133 alone to see if it'll work. usually with a single stick of ram, less stress to overclock.

What kind of cooling do you have? is it enough are your temps ok?
It could be electromigration.....could be your chip is going to die soon, could be you need a little voltage increase.
Take out each individual stick of ram, and use one stick at a time, and see if that is the prob...could be a pci card that died, or is weak....I wish I could think of more, but I haven't had my morning coffee yet
