Hello!
My goal is to overclock my Athlon 1,4 to at 1,53GHz or more. But I can’t get my bus higher then 138Mhz after that both windows me and 2000 refuses to boot up. I don’t think the problem it is the memory’s or the cpu because it works fine at 138x10,5 but at 139x10,5 windows doesn’t boot up, I get some kind of blue screen in windows 2000 and an error message about some config error. If I go even higher on the bus the screen gets black when windows 2000 tries to boot up and some text down in the left corner pops up but it disperse to quick fore me to read it. I know that the USB ports stops working after 138Mhz front side bus on the KT266 chip so I disabled them because that could have been the problem but that didn’t work so now I am out of options so I need help. I can of cores alter my multipliers but I would like to get a higher fsb because of the extra performance boost. My motherboard is Soltek SL-75DRV. I have red storm overclocking support on my motherboard and it test my system and according to it 150x10,5 should work but NO! CPU temp is at 38 C at full load and case temp is 25 C.

you may want to try increasing the voltage of the chip by connecting the L1 Bridges!!

This normally helps stability issues and you may want to look over those temp because 38C is deffinately an idle temp!!

No my idle temp is 35C and load temp is 38C and my cpu is factory unlocked and I have tried higher core voltage. I have overclocked before so I am not a rookie. Her is a pic of my pc.

Have u tried some other ram in there?
Perhaps it flakes out at that speed

I have dual 300w power supply units from POWER MAN so the power supply is not a problem, 600W is good enough and I don’t have any stability issues. My memory’s are Samsung 266DDR unbuffered and thy should be able to run at 150Mhz fsb according to different test that I have found on the internet.
