I just build a new computer:
ABIT AV8 3rd-Eye
AMD 3000+ Venice
1GB Corsair PC3200
I know its a VIA Chip but if i go with NForce4 I have to buy a new pci express video card. I can't seem to overclock this damn thing pass 2.2GHz. Now I'm sure this thing can do 2.4 like nothing. Most people can get 2.7GHz. But if I go anywhere above 2.2, game will lock-up at the exact spot everytime especially HL2....3Dmark does this also.
I can OC this thing to 2.6GHz with prime95 stable no errors. Memtest is also stable (i test with memtest and prime95 for a VERY long time). The CPU temp is nice and cool around 45C. My PSU is also adequate so I have no idea why this thing crap out on me when i'm loading up certain games or lock-up during a certain spot in a game. Any tips/suggestion is appreciated.
