I am attempting to overclock my Core 2 duo e8400 processor from 3.00ghz to 3.60 ghz on a xfx nforce 750i sli motherboard. I have little knowledge when it comes to RAM, and i am unsure of which changes to make in the bios regarding the ram. I raised the fsb to 1600 and i have an option to set the memory fsb, timings, and voltage. The cpu is adequately cooled and passed a prime95 stress test that lasted 6 hours. However, when testing the ram, my computer crashes and now it fails to load windows 7/it crashes frequently.
If there is an obvious/foolish error on my part, please don't deride me for it. I am trying my best to learn how to overclock and I'm hoping that someone will be willing to help.
