Hi,
I am using a dinosaur system but here's my problem...
I have a pentium iii 600e and se-440bx-2 board.
the chip runs at 100mhz fsb and I have always been able to overclock
to 124 mhz fsb USING CPUFSB. But recently I have not been able to succesfully keep it at 124 fsb (704 mhz). What happens is when I am loading up a map the hard drive seems to choke always at a certain point(it starts gets stuck at a certain point and runs over itself continually). The only difference I have made was the addition of another harddrive(slave) which the maps are loading from.
Is this a voltage thing?

I would appreciate any help, thank you.

The problem is maybe that the new HD does not like the OC.

With this board, I am pretty sure there is no PCI/AGP frequency lock. So what happen, is when you raise the fsb, you also raise the speed of the PCI bus wich the IDE controller is plug on.

So by OC'ing the fsb, you OC the pci bus...the ide controller and the HD.
 
A friend of mine has that same board and no, there is no PCI/AGP frequency lock on it.
 
No lock, but cpufsb sets it. OK i looked at the harddrive, but I removed the wingman joystick drivers and all the 11 megs of utilities/profiler/tools it comes
with(because this stick has a mind of its own) and it finally went through consistently. The only thing now is why? It still grabs during the opening video and accessing the hard drive slightly but doesn't hang when at normal fsb speed it doesn't
hang at all. Hmmmm
 
to be safe i'd back it down a mhz or two. a high PCI FSB can and will corrupt data to and from the drive, if the harddrive doesnt like it.
 
Sounds like the unlocked PCI/AGP bus is a problem. Most drives don't play well with that, and data curruption is not your friend... You may be screwed. :(
 
OK i did the deed, or fixed it not likely more like pulled the old reliable out. Yup i was screwed. I deltreed windows and reinstalled then wham ran like buttah. But I installed an unofficial service pack which I believe was the main crossover.

For those of you wondering the OS is WIN98SE and the game with the maps was JEDI KNIGHT ][: OUTCAST, lol :)

Thanks for all your help and when this happens again in a few months I might be back.
