raising FSB to 140 causing D3d games to crash????

[jkilla74]

I cant figure it out. I can run 3dmark2001SE over and over again but when ever I play direct 3d games like Max payne of AVP2 i get a crash to desktop. Than I go to defaults and I never crash when playing games. I scored a 12345 on my last 3dmarkscore with my FSB at 140 and my GPU at 325/715.... Than I changed my GPU to its defaults,left the FSB alone and It crashes when playing games.(D3D) heres my specs:

Win XP Pro
A7V333 1008 Bios
Athlon 2100XP+
512 PC2700 DDR Ram(Turbo settings)
latest 4 in 1s,2942 dets(officials)
PNY G4 Ti 4600
30/40 gig WD ATA/100 7200 RPM HDS
TDK Velocd 40/12/48 cdwr
Soundblaster Live 5.1 X Gamer
Cambrige 5.1 speaker system
20 ' Sony Monitor


my score

that happens. the ideal test is running different applications, not only 3dmark. the good thing is 3dmark will test all the aspects of your card and you can still set it to run using software TnL and stress the cpu.
but testing also with other applications is always better.

yeah i guess your right, but im trying to figure out how people with the same rig as me are able to get their fsb up so much higher. Im trying to figure out if im doing something wrong..
