I'm running a 2.4 6600, w/ a p5n-e mobo.

I am using clockgen to over clock.

The cpu runs great at 2.8ghz, it's running at a very cool 34c

So I decide to crank it up to 3.0ghz.

It freezes.

It also does this if I use the AI OC to 20% (3ghz).

Why would it freeze if it's running so cool? Is this a voltage problem? does clockgen not compisate voltage?
 
Can be many things. Most likely RAM or the buses can't handle the FSB increase. If it was a PSU problem, it'd probably just restart.
 
ya, what kind of RAM and psu u have?

id just use the bios to OC myself.. but make sure to up the voltage (within safety) if its not running correctly with the OC. Could be other things as well.
 
Make sure your RAM is set to a lower divider.

Also make sure you've locked your PCI and PCIe busses.
 
How do I lock my bus speeds I see no option for that in my bios... hrm.
 
I THINK arc is talking about this:
Set the PCI bus frequency to 33mhz (or 33.33 mhz) from whatever it's set to (usually called "auto" or "sync"). It should be in the same BIOS pane as the FSB speeds and CPU voltages (probably under JUMPERFREE config)

Im not exactly sure if thats locking or not, im still learning all the terms and such. Also it may be slightly different as he was helping me with my p5b-e mobo (which is successfully OCed for the first time) :p
