Hi everybody. I need some help with overclocking my Thunderbird 1200, Gigabyte GA-7ZX with Via KT133 mobo. I tried to overclock with FSB up to 110 1320 MHz, Voltage it seem to adjust automatically to 1.80. I can boot with no problem to Win Xp with temp. 49C but then after 15-20 minutes I am getting blue screens. I lower FSB and again it works for some times and then blue screen. Temp is still low at 49-50C.
I also could not find anything how to overclock my mobo with voltage so I am not sure if that is possible as when I change FSM voltage is adjusting itself?

Any help appreciated....

Do you have motherboard monitor? If so, keep an eye on your 5v line. (Of the power supply). If it dips below 4.80v, that may be where the instability (and blue screens) are coming in. Also, especially with FSB overclocking, CPU temp is not an absolute indicator of stability. Remember that your RAM and even your expansion cards are being run out of spec when you increase your FSB. You could try swapping out some of those components, or perhaps only running on the necessary components to see if that solves your problem.

That may be the problem as line 5V is getting low, so is there a way to change voltage manually on my mobo? I could not find anything in my manual....
