I have had this same problem from the DAY I put this thing together and I still can't figure out the problem
HELP!!
Setup:
P5WD2-Premium (latest bios)
Intel 820 D
BFG 6600GT OC
Win2K
I have stripped my computer to bare bones. In fact the motherboard isn't even in a case (that's another issue for another thread).
Whenever I overclock this board to ANYTHING OTHER THAN STOCK, about 60% of the games as well as apps like 3DMark06 DO NOT WORK RIGHT
What happens is when I run a game such as FarCry or GTA VC, the graphics run extremely jerky - making them impossible to play! Remember this is only if I set the FSB to anything other than the stock 200. I have set the PCI Mode to 100, and PCI Freq to 33.3 like some have suggested, but it didn't help.
The ONLY way I am able to play anything if my system is overclocked is to launch the game, alt-tab, and set the affinity to a single core. That's the only way.
I even tried a brand spanking new Gigabyte 6600GT and it does the same thing so I know it has something to do with either the CPU or motherboard.
I really need some help solving this problem once and for all. My next step is probably going to be swapping out CPU's but I want other peoples opinions first.
Thanks.
