I've tried to OC this setup since I've had it, without much luck. So, I'll give my most recent story, and implore some of you experts for help.
I recently upgraded to an X850 XT AGP. As such, I got brave again and made another attempt at stable 24/7 3.0ghz
Bios, manual, 250fsb , 5:4 divider, locked agp/pci bus, PCBstrap800, memory settings at 2.5-3-3-8, AAADD. Pretty routine here. 1.55v. Note that CPUz tells me the voltage when set at 1.55 fluctuates between 1.536 and 1.520. Not sure if this is normal.
At this point, as usual, Prime95 will give me rounding error, .5 expecting less than .4, and simply will not be what anyone would consider "truly stable"
Boot up, get into windows, rock stable. Plenty of benchmarks, plenty of gaming. Temperatures are fine, both GPU and CPU wise. I think to myself, "Wow this is great"
Then it happens. BF2 locks up, crashes tabbed out, GPU stops accepting commands and the whole system locks. Reboot. Posts, gets into windows, black screen. -- This is new....
Reboot into safemode, uninstall the X850 drivers, reboot, reinstall, reboot, gets back into windows, black screen still.
At this point I reboot, reset my cmos jumper, and it gets into windows no problems at all....
Basically I need some help. I've tried to get this thing to OC, I bought a Antec TrueControl 550 a while back thats got solid rails and plenty of juice, and even tried the TCCD G-skill ram a while back that didn't help at all, sold the ram and stuck with my Corsair.
1:1 divider, I can't get past 210 FSB. 5:4 seems stable, but then I get random lock ups, and that scare with the new video card was a bit much.
Im truly stumped. If anyone can help me, I'd really appreciate it.
