When I run my system at the speed in my sig, everything is fine and I can run it for weeks, no problem. But when I go up one Mhz on the FSB, I get random reboots in Games..
What do u Guys think is the Reason..
Is my CPU just maxed out, might it be the Ram, the PSU, or sth. else..
Need your opinions!!!
Thanx

Nope, it isnŽt the mobo, yes it has the KX133 chipset, but I have run my CPU at 126x6.5 with no problems

Yep maybe it is the Ram, but I tried it at 106 FSB and low settings and I got the same problem!
