Registry Errors

[MsNath]

Config
VP6 MB; Single piii 700e; 768 mb ram; 16mb ATI rage128 expert; ATI TVwonder; Sound Blaster Gamer 5.1; 3 com Etherlink XL PCI; 30gig IBM deskstar; Aopen CDRW 12x10x32; Toshiba 12DVD

Im rock stable at OCed at 933mhz but when I try and push the 1 gig barrier I get this error on boot up.

"Windows encountered an error accessing the registry." I can ignore the error but the system is very unstable.

CPU temp is 17c
I tried Voltages from 1.70v to the max on my board 1.80v but I always get this error.

My gut feeling is that this is not a problem with the cpu. I think one of my other cards doesnt like the higher fsb. or maybe the ram... What do you think?

I would agree. You can always remove the cards and instlall them one at a time until the problem occurs to isolate it.

I just flashed the new "wk" bios and everything still seems to work, although I did have a "mystery reboot" once soon after. It hasn't done it since, but it was annoying as it happened in the middle of a long post on the forum.

Sounds to me like the gig is a bridge too far...

I don't know if the BH6 voltage reflash trick will work on the VP6, but if you could get it to 1.85 or 1.9 it might be a bit more stable.

Could be RAM, I s'pose as well.

I had exactly the same problem with my C566. I knew everything in my system would run at 124MHz (ran pII 400 @496 for a while), so when I got registry errors on boot, I knew it could only be my new CPU. Doing the BH6 (I had a BH6, btw) BIOS reflash trick, gave me up to 1.9v to play with. After burning in at 1.85, the puter was stable at 1.8v at 850Mhz.

Your memory does not like it !!!!

Try dropping to CAS 3 or changing your timings (doing a straight CAS 3 is a lot simpler if u r unsure)
