Hey guys, this is my first time on this board, i've heard you guys are awesome when it comes to overclocking so I thought i'd ask for some help here.
First my specs:
Pentium 4 3.0Cghz overclocked to 3.45ghz at 1.50v
Abit IC7-MAX3 Motherboard
1GB of Corsair XMS DDR400 RAM
ATI All-In-Wonder 128mb Radeon 9800 Pro Video Card
160gb Western Digital SATA Hard Drive
Lite-On 52x32x52 CD-RW
Aspire X-Superalien Case with 500Watt PSU
OTES Cooling System With:
Swiftech MCX4000 Heatsink
Panasonic Panaflo 92mm w/ 56.8 CFM at 35 db-A
After slowly incrementing my clock speed, I had my CPU at the mentioned above clock speed, 3.45ghz at 1.5v and my ram was at 2.8v.
So I decided I wanted to drop her back down to 3.00ghz and run a benchmark. So thats what I did, I set everything to default in the bios and it booted up fine, i ran my benchmark, then went to set everything back and it will NOT boot in to windows.
I found it confusing at first, then i realised the problem. If I overclocked the CPU to anything over 3.025 my HD will not register. I get to the post screen, my optical drive shows up, but my HD is no where to be found. I go in to BIOS and it can't detect my HD. I then drop it back to 3.00ghz and it finds the HD again. Back and forth, its there, its not there...
I have no clue what's going on. I tried clearing cmos and still can't find the HD when its over 3.025ghz. I'm getting nervous, anyone have any suggestions or ideas? I'd really appreciate it.
