Prime95 errors out on me above 204FSB. It says expected some rounding value of less than some number but got some number. I've never seen it do this before. I'm used to it making a BSOD when you're OCed too much. Does this give any insight at all into what part is crapping out in my OCing? I'd expect it to be the CPU.... This is on the first box in my profile. I've tried raising the memory voltage (I usually run it at 2.7V) and the CPU voltage (I usually use 1.775 or 1.80). My BIOS is currently NF7-S D25_CPC_On_rev.3D_by_-=Merlin=-
 
Prime95 will give errors like that if the CPU and/or memory makes an error in calculation. What you need to do is run everything stock and see if that passes prime. Heat, memory timings or just the max OC can cause P95 to fail. Isnt stock volts on a 2600+ 1.65v? You might be overvolting for no reason and causing failure. What are your temps like? Run your CPU @ 200 x 9.5 - that should be "stock" speed assuming its a barton that should be running @ 166 x 11.5?
 
I'm at 204x10.5@1.80V.... What I was wondering is the difference between prime test failing in Windows and telling you while not doing anything bad to the computer vs. what I was used to seeing, prime95 making a BSOD.
