When I was overclocking on air around 3.53GHz (443x8) and I tried to push the system to be stable at 445x8, I would get floating-point exception errors in one of my clients.
Now on water, I'm stable at around 433x9, but when I push the clocks too high I get an OS lockup (Xubuntu 7.10), but when I check my FAH log I have no floating-point exceptions or otherwise have no folding related errors.
Both errors disrupt folding, and require a restart and some clock adjustment in the BIOS. My question is, why do you think I'm getting these OS lockups at higher frequencies, and what if anything can be done to counter them? (I seem to be capable at folding at these higher frequencies without errors--aside from the system lockups of course). Do you think the memory bus is over-saturated? Would switching to a different Linux distro do the trick?
