HD limiting OCing ?

[six.]

Hi, I recently upgraded my system, I had to do it in installments due to cash . Got myself a AMD3200, KV8pro, 6800GT, 512RAM (512 to be added later). With this setup I had my old IBM deskstar HD and I am talking 5 years old.

I was able to overclock the system fsb from 2000 to 2300 quite confortably with no problems. Recently I replaced my HD with a Maxtor plus 10 HD. Now when I try and push my FSB anything above 2200, I get a boot failure with the message "boot disk not found, please insert CD or other boot device ... "

I was supprised that a HD would restrict my OCing is there anything I can do to get it back to 2300 ?

thanks.

if it is a sata drive that could be it some boards sata connectors stop working when you oc I thought maxtor 10 meant 10 gig the I rememebered that it is the new line oops

Yes it is SATA, I'll try the latest BIOS for the Kv8Pro see if that helps.

some mobos dont have good sata locks at all.. and others they fail after a certain level

i got that when my ram timings were too aggressive. try relaxing them a little bit to see if that helps.

still wierd how it worked before though.
