Ok, need a little help again here. But first I'll list the system specs.
-Asus P3V4X, Celeron 800, MSI slotket, realtek 10/100 net card, Voodoo3 2500 AGP, creative DVD encore decoder (DX-R2 DVD drive), Creative 48X cdrom (Panasonic I think), SoundBlaster Live! (Value), OEM high cap heatsink and fan, 256M Apacer ram x2(Infineon chips).
Now here's the problem. I can't get the damned thing to go past 922 now. I had the thing stable at 1066 for two weeks, was so sweet I couldn't belive it. I restart one day to dump all the crap in memory, and while it's booting, I get an error message. The Vcore voltage is too high. So I go into the bios, and sure enough it's higher than what I set it to (I set it to 1.85V). Now the thing is, that this isn't the first time I've had this problem. I had it as well with my Cel 400, but I thought it was because I had accidentaly shorted the cpu while installing a temperature monitor (home made as per hoot's article). The Cel 400 is a slot1, no adapter. I've tried changing everything except for the MB, and power supply. I think it's the PSU causing the problem, but I'm not 100% sure. right now, I have a 235W PSu, in a inwin mid-tower. I'm getting a a Aopen full tower (HT08 ), and switching the PSU that comes with it with an enermax 300W. I'm just waiting for the Enermax PSU that is backordered. I figure I might as well spend the extra $40 and move up to a full tower, instead of getting just the PSU. If it isn't the PSU, anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be? Should I be shopping for a new MB?
