new to the forum, been using for years, never joined, happy to be here now..
I have a strange issue with an old LGA775 board. It's my older board and I was setting it up to connect to living room and maybe stream games from main rig to TV, but ran into weird problem.
It is a MSI g33m or ms-7357 ver 1.0. I have overclocked my old q6600 and q9650 with this board for years with no problems, however, recently I have an issue with vcore. I want to leave it at stock speeds, maybe overclock on the fsb and leave vcore alone, but the vcore is increasing itself in the bios. I don't mean in the monitoring section, I mean the actual setting is changing. If I clear cmos, the vcore jumps from 1.23(stock) to 1.5v on its own. From there, I can reset bios defaults and save and it will be back at stock 1.23v. If I increase the vcore at all or fully reboot the PC, the next time the bios loads it displays 1.5v as vcore. Also, of course when the vcore is 1.5v in the bios, I get bsod related to power kernel issue, because of high vcore.
I have reflashed bios and tried new cpu, ram, and power supply.
I'm just guessing the old 775 has died for good. Any thoughts as to what's actually causing it? I'm handy with a solderer and can replace bad caps/parts, if anybody can point me in that direction.
Sorry for a post on such a long post on an old board, I just really wanted that PC in the living room, lol.
Thanks
