Hey all,
Hoping this is a good place to post this, here goes;
I've recently starting my overclocking career on the system as per signature, with the exception that at the time I had a Geforce 7600GT as graphics adapter.
I made my first wobbly steps and have actually managed a quite decent overclock which seemed stable-ish at 3.6Ghz with my X3230 ES.
Now the problem, and it's completely puzzling me; as soon as I install my new 7950GX2 the system will not even come past the BIOS screen (if it even comes that long) and it will reboot with BIOS automatically reset. I can't even merely change the BIOS setting for controlling FSB to manual and have it at 266 (x10, standard setting). So that's without even clocking or anything and it won't boot.
WHY?!
Got absolutely no clue what's going on. System is working smoothly as long as everything is on AUTO, i.e. per 'Optimized Defaults'. Tried both the PCI-E connectors, same result. The PSU is a 700W FSP as per signature, could that be a problem? Then again, what exactly does change when I alter the CPU Frequency from AUTO to MANUAL and set it for 266 x 10 (it runs in 266 x 10 in AUTO!!!).
I'm completely puzzled....
