Shutdown problem when o/c&#39d

[garnet]

My system - P3 700@1000, 1.8v, Asus CUSL2, Win98se, 256mb pc143 ram.
When I run 143/107/35 (1000mhz) I have no problems. When I run 143/143/35, my computer won't shutdown. Everything else seems to be working fine. I get much better Memory scores with Sandra when running the ram at 143, that I hate to change it to 107. I have the same problem at 966, 987 etc. Anyone have any ideas how to cure this? I would like to shut the machine off once in a while.

What type of PC133 RAM do you have. It may not like being overclocked.

I have a Reboot Problem with my Bxmaster mobo, it only happens over 1008 mhz, If I run my P3 800 at 133fsb or higher, it won't reboot, but if I run at 1008,( 126fsb), the reboot is fine.... I figure it's got to do with the frequency of the cpu/mobo not jivving..

This may or may not apply to Win98SE or to your particular problem, but what about trying to disable the fast shutdown option offered in the Advanced tab of MSCONFIG. Just an idea.

Shutdown problem when o/c'd

Could be a corrupted shutdown wav file.

Chances are it's the Sucker's Ed "shutdown problem".

M$ has multiple patches that should sort the problem.

Shutdown problem when o/c'd

I was having some weird shutdown problems also.
Sometimes wouldnt shutdown right, skipping the shutdown
wav, (which was not corrupt). Locking up on shutdown other
times.

After setting the PCI#2 Access #1 Retry in my BIOS to
disabled, the problem vanished. No performance loss
detected.

You might look in your BIOS to see if your has this setting.

If I had memory running at 143Mhz sweet as a nut - I would leave my Box on constantly running seti units. Shutting down would not be an issue.

I'd just have this as a little nag and not worry about it. You wanna see the state of my desk at the moement 'cause I'm running a PC in no case - it's just laid out on the table - running 933Mhz!!!!
