Hi, I've had good success for several months with an overclocked Pentium-D 805 and had it running stably at 3.6 ghz without any major problems until a few weeks ago, when I started getting some random reboots. I figured it was a heat problem and double-checked my temps, which were too high. So I cleaned my fan off and sure enough, that brought the temperatures down.
But, now, I can't get it to be stable on any overclock whatsoever. The default settings @ 2.66 = perfectly stable. But anything else results in random reboots. It isn't an overheating problem, and the CPU isn't engaging TM2 throttling. In fact, the reboots seem to happen more readily when the processor has a light load. I've run memtest on the ram and not gotten any particular errors, so I don't think it's that. And on high loads, the proc seems quite happy.
The relevant specs:
Asus P5LD2 Mainboard
Corsair Value Select PC-5300 2 GB (2 x 1 GB sticks)
Intel Pentium-D 805
Any clues what might be the culprit or suggestions for things to play with for OC settings (if anyone with a similar hardware layout wants to suggest something, I'm all ears).
Thanks in advance.
