so i couldn't get my comp past 250 fsb and 2.5 ghz. Even at 2.5 ghz the computer would take 3 or 4 tries to start up. Sometimes the computer restarts when i type in my admin password to get into windows :confused: Should I just revert back to stock settings? I'm at 2.3 ghz now.. htt 4x mult 10x fsb 230 and didnt touch the ram.
 
if youre crashing at 2.5GHz, then that menas that speed is unstable. Tone down the clock more and more until you stop crashing, then prine95 for several hours confirming stability

if you did not touch you ram that is the problem, it is all or none with oc'ing
