Overclocking - Win'98 Self Reboot?

[Yodums]

Im @ 575mhz right now and if I oc to 600mhz after sometime it reboots ... approx 5-10mins... what does this really mean i kow it has to do with my ocing not being stable and its not the heat

Power supply would be my first guess, might also be RAM, you say your at 575 now, what chip is it 500,550 celery, P3, P2 need more info.

i'm having the same problem with my 1000E but before reboot, my monitor will turn off first and lights from cdrom, cdr and harddrive all light up. what about you?

well i oc to 120mhz 1/3 FSB then it gets in windows and its like i juss pressed the reboot button ...

i think that's a kind of windows protection, if your agp our pci are to high may do it... take a look at your bios settings, and go 1 by 1 incres. FSB mhz and see what will happen!! take a look and see if you have irq conflicts...Etc

I was thinking my cards cant take it..... hmmmmm

I think it is either my
3com PCI NIC or my cheap ISA NIC thats holding me back

i dont think it's some kind of hardware conflicts because i used to run my system on a 550E @800 without any problem (144FSB). but then after upgrading to 1000E, i managed to run 120FSB only. will boot at 1300 but will auto restart... i think this may be the problems:

1. cpu limitation
2. heat !!
3. power supply

Mine must be the some what PSU... pfft

*pokes that "SPE" psu 230 watt in the head*
