As the title says, Barton 2800+, Asus A7N8X2.0 Deluxe
Ok, heres the deal. I decided i was going to do my first overclock. I went into the BIOS, and i changed the FSB to 200 from 166, and i changed the multiplier from 12.5 to 11. Thus going from 2.083Ghz, to 2.205. This is a relatively small overclock, right? So i was expecting it to go off without a hitch. So people tell me i should run a program called Prime95, i run the torture test on the "blend" setting, and it comes up with an error after only 30 minutes. So a day later after talking with some people, i up the vCore from the lowest setting up one setting to ~1.7v. So i run Prime95 again, and now i get an error after 11 minutes! It said that "rounding was 0.5, it was expected to be less than 0.4" or something like that.
So basically, i want to know what's going on! Why can't my computer handle this easy overclock?! Is 1.7v still too low for my vcore? Please help! Anyone!
Thanks!
