i just got my first build completed yesterday and im looking to OC some. but whenever i hit 225x11(2.47) i cant go any higher.i cant even go back to stock 2.2. when i try to do anything my computer just freeze's. any idea's?

AMD64 3700+
ASUS A8N-E MOBO
IM USING THE OC'ING PROGRAM THAT CAME WITH IT(AI BOOSTER)

well first off... use no programs..

only Overclock to begin with in the bios... others may tell you otherwise but you dont learn anything

once you get proficient in OCing windows based programs are Okay in testing but you still do your OCing in the bios..

also
225x11(2.47) are you running a RAM divider? or RAM 1:1 because most DDR400 will not do 225fsb without loosening the timings alot.. and some just wont, have you ran memtest to see if you RAM is stable?

also did you CPU pass any stability testing before FSB 225? if your answer is "whats stability testing? playing BF2" than please read Eclipses guide to OCing here at [H] and after you read that, perform the steps that he has outlined and then come and ask questions...

if your CPU passed orthos at 220 and not 225 then drop a DDR333 or 5/6 RAM divider on it and see if it passes.... i would guess it is your RAM that is failing...

well i found the OC'ing guide and its great.. that AI BOOSTER thing blows. thats what was messing my computer up. i got to 2.8GHz with FSB of 260*11. but im not done yet
i cant do my RAM OC'ing because i dont have a floppy/drive to run memtest.... any ideas? also prime95 has been running for about 40 mins now with no errors.i just passed the 10K test now its on step 3 of the next one

do i need to change the timims on my RAM..... do they need to be the same?\/\/\/\/\/\/
