Well, I don't know if this should be in the mobo section or not, but I'll try here first...
I came across a Celly633, and decided to pop it in my mobo to see what it would do. I tried at 75, then at 83, and finally 100FSB. Booted into Windows XP on all three tries. My temps were good, nothing over 27C, so I figured it was a pretty strong chip, but I wanted to bench it to make sure. I started Prime95, checked my temp after about 30 min. (29C), and went to bed.
When I woke up, Prime had stopped on an error. Temp was 24C, and I checked my e-mail (read 2 letters, didn't download anything), then shut the comp down to put my 900 back in. On boot-up, I got an error saying the some of my windows files were corrupt, and XP couldn't start. So I figured I'd run the repair from the XP disc, right?
Wrong. I can't copy files now. It gets about 3%, and starts generating all kinds of file copying errors. I also tried WinME and 98SE...same problem. I have tried 2 different HDD's (low-level format on both, and tried XP format from install disc), and two different chips (P!!!550E and a Celly600, both at default speed), as well as different RAM...no luck. Did I screw my mobo up by o/c'ing that chip? Has anyone ever seen this before?
If this should be in the mobo section, I'm sorry...I'm just trying to figure this one out guys. PLEASE HELP!!!
