I just replaced my motherboard and processor after my last one burnt (fan went bad). I now have an Asus A7V8X-X and an AMD XP2800 333fsb. My video card is an NVidia GeForce 3 Ti200. At first, I was still using my 266Mhz memory with the CPU running slow. Now that I have replaced the memory with 333MHz and raised the CPU up to the 2.25 GHz (and the bus speed to 166/33) I get freezes when I run graphics intensive programs for a while (30 mins or so). Is it that the card can't handle the higher bus speed?
Thanks.

Hmmm... the AGP and PCI speeds should be able to run at 66 and 33 at 166MHz FSB - check your BIOS settings and make sure the divisors are set correctly.

With an nforce2 the agp speed is sepperate from fsb. You can run the fsb at any speed and the agp speed will still be 66mhz. Try lowering the multiplier on your cpu and see if it fixes the stability problems.

Which divisors am I looking at?

If I lower my multiplier, I'll be losing processor speed, won't I?

Could all this be a cooling problem if it's not a bus problem?

It could be. Try lowering your multiplier and see if it fixes it.
