I posted this on video thread as well but thought you guys may have a little more info as its an Asus P4B266 board
I have been slowly raising the FSB on my system to get the most outa my 1.6a - presntly at 2133 @ 133 FSB & 1,5V core but have run up against a road block which I believe is a temp induced problem on my vid card??
If I go above 143 fsb (and adjusting the vcore to 1.625) the system boots into XP fine but will crash on wolfenstein durring loading. (all other non 3d apps run fine).
When I turn off the system and reboot then I loose the video display all together (monitor is getting a signal as there is no "check signal" etc displayed). Windows appears to boot normaly (even though I can't see it).
Turning off the system and leaving for 5 mins seems to cure the problem - which leads me to suspect the temp problem.
p.s. CPU / Board temps are fine at 32 and 29 respectively
Does this sound reasonable or is there something else that could be causing the problem.
As anyone experienced the same and if so is there a good vid chip cooling system that might help??
Could it be the increased bus speed is adversely affecting the AGP and if so is there a way to lock the AGP bus speed independantly of the FSB - and if yes then How and at what speed?
thx for any input
