Overclocking problem need some help

[Spock]

I was clocking my celeron 850@1003 mhz no problems at all. Until I got my geforce 3 ti200. Now I can't OC past 892mhz. It just won't go past the windows xp loading screen. My previus video card was GeForce 2 MX. Im running 512 megs of ram TUSL2-C mobo... with 250 watt psu please help! ;D

First of all welcome to the Forums and our lil slice of heaven

Well your PS maybe holding u back, as the GF3 takes muuuch more juice to power than the GT2.

what do you sugest?

Well what do you sugest I get a new psu or a new cpu? or is there something else I can do? ;D

 

[XprincoX]

well that really depends, with technology like computers its really hard to say exactly the best time to upgrade is. But then looking ahead towards to future a bigger PS would probably be a good investment. And as cpu start to fall again with the new releases you can also start looking into cpus. But IMO i would probably go wit the PS first.

Alright

What Watt should I get?
300 350?

If I was in your place I would get a little more, like 400+
So you won't have to upgrade again if you should change to to Athlon XP or Northwood.

yes i highly agree get as much power as u can as u'll be able to use the bugger for a much loooonger time. If u want some suggestions on manufactures, basically enermax or antec are the big 2 favs.

welcome to the forums

if you have a COMP USA near by they have a ANTEC 400W PSU
on sale for 70$ + 20$ in rebates. it is a great quality PSU and
will solve all of your powering needs

I would recommend like a 550 watt, just for longitivity, and you won't be buying a new PSU every year because it gets outdated that fast.

fortunately a good high quality PSU will last you a while. i would say do with the 550 watt also because it will save you from having to buy another one not too far down the road. Plus, with all that power you won't have to worry too much about loading it up with fans and coolers

To me it sounds like 2 problems, the PSU is puney and mabee your video card just does not like to overclock. I have had both problems in my past.
