Hi

I've bumped my FSB from 166MHz, to 175, to 180, to 184. I am able to work comfortably for long periods, but now my PC is not recovering when I configure Windows to power my monitor down after XX min. In other words, it doesn't wake up if I type or move the mouse.

(note: this was only experienced after going to 184MHz).

I have the following configured:

RAM: (DDR-333)
9-3-3-2.5, synchronous
Vdimm: 2.62v (default)

CPU: XP 2800+ @ 2300MHz (12.5x184)
VCore: 1.73v (set to 1.7v in BIOS)

The Vcore was previously at 'default' (which is 1.65v, I believe). I raised it to 1.7v in an effort to see if this improves things.

Any help/suggestions would be most appreciated!

Thanks
