Ok, many of you have probably already read my troubles with my graphix, and my overclock. I am so confused right now and have NO IDEA where to go next. This is my situation.....
I have a 9800 pro which i recently flashed to xt bios. I have a p4p800 dlx and a 2.8c chip. I have been able to oc this chip to 3.5 STABLE. Were talking 24 hours of prime 95 and seti running in the backround. The problem comes in here. For whatever reason, when I have my comp oced manually, i get tears in my graphics. Now I dont believe these to be artifacts from the graphics card, because I can run ati tool on find artifacts for an hour and it doesnt find anything. Whenever I enter CS i get tons of little flashing spikes that shoot around my screen. Also in 3dmark03 during the CPU TESTS ONLY do I also experience the same problems. Throughout the rest of the tests it seems fine. Now the Kicker.....
If i have the computer AI overclocked useing asus's crap program I can oc it with that to 20% which is 3.36 on my system, and I dont experience ONE of these flashes, where if I have my computer manually oced to that speed they are there to hand me a spoon so i can eat my own rear end. I just dont know what to do next. This doesnt make any sense to me at all. BTW this problem was happening BEFORE i flashed my card to XT bios also. Was hoping that might fix the prob for whatever hopeless reason.
These are the bios settings, and in my sig below you can see my system specs.
fsb 250
vcore 1.55
vdimm 1.85
agp 1.6(also tried 1.5 initially)
agp is locked at 33/66
ram is 1:1, 3.4.4.8 8burst
mode is set to standard(tried turbo)
ram acceleration is enabled.
Im just soo confused and lost. I would really appreciate any help anybody could offer. Im about to take a hammer to my pc. ( not really, just feel that way. If i did that could be considered murder )
