Strange result OC of P4 1.8A on Asus P4T-E

Hi all
As I am new to this forum, I greet you OC Gurus out there and hope you can help me understand something.

I have OC'ed my P4 1.8A to 2.4 with 133MHz bus, RDRAM Mulitplier=3, Turbo=On

When I boot my system, it sometimes takes up to 1min for the system to get past the POST. I get NO error messages, and when the OS is ready, there's no symptoms of any kind that anything is wrong.

Any Ideas anyone ?

Not sure what is going on. I had a P4 1.6A in a P4B266-C and it would do the same thing. If I lowered the FSB, it would boot a LOT faster. The twist is that I got a new mobo (P4S533) and CPU (1.8A), I gave my girlfriend the 1.6A/P4B266-C combo and she hasn't had this problem. I think it might have been my specific RAM stick that was causing the anomaly or the RAM slot my stick was in.

Try update BIOS, check out the beta version. Have 1.8A and I set my FSB max out 156 rdram @ 3X after i update my BIOS to beta version.

One other possibility is a usb device. I had the same problems while using a usb mouse. I ended up using the ps2 adapter that came with it and this solved the problem.

So if you are using a usb mouse, try using a ps2 mouse or just unplug it to see if the system boots up any quicker.

hope this helps!

I had that problem with my USB mouse on my old P4T-E as rekless said. All I did was used a USB to PS2 converter.
