hey all,
I'm very happy w/ my new 225 x 11 (2480) @ 1.8vcore overclock w/ my barton M 2500+, BUT every now and then winxp freezes right after loading @ the screen where i choose an account. What can be causing it? I'm suspecting the extreme fsb overclock (atleast w/ nf7-s) as that has a tendency to make programs act funny? any ideas?
I passed 22 hr and 22min of prime95 with NO errors @ that overclock, and 15 hrs @ a 227 fsb w/ memtest3.1, so how can it not be stable?! Settings are same as sig except above overclock.
Also, i can't enter my bios consistently every time i restart, i have to restart twice before being able to enter it (i.e. the first time i restart, hitting the del key does'nt enter the bios, i have to restart again before it works). That occured only after installing my Barton M and overclocking it. What does that mean?
Any insight would be appreciated and thnx in advance.
