My ABIT board is wiggin out NEED HELP!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will start by saying that I love my NGURU AI7 board. I have been running my Intel 2.4Ghz Oclocked to about 3Ghz for about 8 months. Its been completely stable the entire time. I just upgraded my 9700pro to the all in wonder x800 XT. I am blown away by the power of this card. I read an article in CPU (Computer Power User) mag about how to tweak the services in winXp. How to safely disable all the ones that are just taking up extra processes to give windows a minor performance increase. Heres the link
http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm.
I made tweaked most of the settings in the services listed as unneeded. Ive been taking note of any odd behavior since i made the changes to make sure i didnt accidentally disable something i need running. no problems at all for the past three days. Today, I turn my computer on and during boot into windows it restarts. then it booted up ok. 5 min later it restarts. then it dies completely, freezes at the POST screen. All the sudden my computer is dead. cant get into the bios... nothin. i turn off all the power and unplug all the cords from the case and wait about 15 min. When i turn it all back on, it lets me into the bios none of the settings were changed, everything is set as it has been since forever. got into windows and it restarts. so i continue trying to figure out why and how this is happening. at first i was sure that it was one of the services i tweaked, then i thought.... if thats true, then what was up with the locking up at the POST. I have no idea why but i fugured out that when i clocked my CPU back to default my system runs fine. If i raise the FSB by even 5 it will restart while windows is loading. I dont know wtf is up. It cant be the services i changed cause its runnin fine now, but what the hell is up with not being able to Oclock at all. Are the two related? How could they be. I would appreciate any and all suggestions you may have.
