Wtf???

[DRaZZ]

ok so i put my xp1600 on my abit board(see sig) i have made some real kewl ramsinks for my system ram, got good cooling on proc n chipset.....i set fsb to 160 (320ddr) and booted up fine, i had just formated so i proceded to install windows, all went in fine, then i started to install drivers.....every driver i put in worked fine, then i installed the software for my cable modem, and when i restarted and got to windows, it said sommat was wrong with the system registry and that it wud restart and restore, it restored to the point where i had no drivers in at all this happened 3 times untill i dropped fsb to 155, any ideas ?

either ur fsb is to high or ur overclock is to high it can be both.

Adding ram sinks doesnt mean ur hdd can handle the high bus speed

so u think its hdd ? my hard drive is quite old n naff !!!

 

[tragic_monkey]

yep sounds like hdd corruption
get a wd special edition
or a maxtor ata 133 i think they have them with 8mb cache's now

That's what an old HD will do at high fsb.
Good luck.

i have a 40 gb maxtor ata 133 7200 rpm and see the high buses im getting

i have a old maxtor 10gb it corrupts daily. sometimes 2 times a day when i was maxing out my ram.
and when u install windows its best to do it at stock settings ,or u will be doing it over again.one blue screen and the install is screwed.

im buying 2 wd 7200's next week for raid 0. my currnt hd is ata 33 i think its so slow its pathetic.its going in my backup.
