Over 143FSB and 2KPro dies

[OKCFUNKY]

Why is it that Windows 2000 professional gives page faults as soon as i go beyond 143 mhz fsb and wont even begin at 150mhz and over? Im runnin a [email protected]@1.8v on a A7N266E and the board fails to boot beyond 150mhz but i dont try that far very often. How can i get windows to boot without page faults beyond 143mhz? are there any windows versions or linux i could use?
p.s. im runnin 512mb DDR333 from OCZ bought in january so i dont its revision. thanks for all the help

I hit 152 fsb and i'm running win 2k, just give some more voltage the cpu it will help boot.

 

[OKCFUNKY]

whats your voltage?
and should i change ram voltage?

 

[Ottoman]

yup me 2... 1800+ 150fsb...

1.825 cpu
upped the ram and i/o by 1 notch as well to be safe...

 

[OKCFUNKY]

io voltage... never heard of it, how would i go about tweaking it?

 

[Ottoman]

hmm dunno if Asus has the choice..

my ABit does..

with all the other voltage tweaks cpu, i/o, mem

 

[OKCFUNKY]

what bout pumping up ram, its already set at 2.6v, leave or pump up?

 

[Gilgamesh]

My cpu voltage was on 1.85v and ram to the two notches. I/O was up one notch. Give it a try and c what happens. First time i yank up the fsb to 150 the system won't even boot but after upping the vcore it boot and everything smooth.

Page faults are usually related to memory problems. I also get hard drive corruption when I try to run 150 on a different chipset.

 

[OKCFUNKY]

just now loaded it

nvr knew a patch would fix it.....

 

[Greg M]

You talking about the AGP patch? I removed it from my post thinking it probably wouldn't be related to memory page faults.

I'll put the links back if it helps anybody:

yeah the AGP patch helped my stability in 2k as well

 

[OKCFUNKY]

just tested it over 143 again, it can now boot on 148, but the instant i fire up sandra cpu benchmark, comp crashes....
My multi is at 11.5 locked
AGP fix did help quake3 finally work

Thanks

For the link. I tried the tweak on my spare comp and it fixed it as well.

what HDD are you using... it might be your HDD thats causing you the problem... there are HDD's that doesnt like high FSB's.... causing page file problems when booting on Win2k....

 

[OKCFUNKY]

maxtor ATA133 7200 rpm 40 gig

Up the CPU voltage, it may be the CPU thats holding you back. Same with the RAM voltage. For testing purposes you cant hurt to max out the RAM voltage, may not want to run it there long term with no cooling though.

?

Do you guys have problems with your USB dying at around 143 FSB?

I did have that problem before... losing my USB and Gameport at 150FSB on my KK266. But when I upgraded my Power Supply ( to 350 Watts ), the problem was fixed... have tried running at 170FSB and still USB and Gameport are ok... though my HDD craps out if running at that FSB for more than an hour....
