file corruption w/ ocing

xyphoid · Apr 15, 2004

Hey guys

just got a 2500 xp-m today and have been ttesting it at new speeds and came across a problem when trying to hit 2.6 ghz (200X13 with 1.85 core voltage) When windows begins to load, it says I have file corruption... Should I try increasing my VDIMM voltage??? I have pc 3200 corasair value select RAM at 2.5-3-3-11.
BTW I just had to underclock to load back into Windows.

Corrupting the registry is not uncommon, it happens with overclocking and you usually need to reinstall Windows when it does.

It can happen if you overclock too much too fast so overclock in smaller increments.

I don't know of Anti Virus freeware but it does exist.

I got one the other day and Norton AntiVirus I had running didn't detect it. It usually does, but not this time.

The only way I knew it was there was because I run this program
http://www.mlin.net/StartupMonitor.shtml
which detcts anything installing itself to run on next reboot.

I drive re-imaged my operating system partition quickly to get rid of it.

This could be ram related. I had a bad stick of ddr that would cause file corruptiion during windows install. Took me for ever to rule out everything but the ram.

xyphoid>> I had this happen to me and what you need is more vcore.

xyphoid · Apr 16, 2004

O that sux becasue i already tried at 1.9 this morning and dont really wanna try higher that that. I really wanna hit 2.6 tho

The Coolest · Apr 16, 2004

I believe that giving it 1.95-2v for a short period just to test if its really a vcore issue should not damage your CPU, if your temps aren't too high
