Hey gang,
I think I've got an interesting one for ya...
I recently put togther a new rig (well partially anyway), consisting of a P5W-DH Dlx, Core 2 E6700, and Corsair TWINX2X2048-6400C4 (4-4-4-12) Memory. The PSU is an OCZ Powerstream 600W unit that has come over from my previous Athlon X2 build.
The problem I'm having is that if I overclock past 2.8Ghz (280FSB x 10), my PC literally won't start up. Now I'm used to an overclock failing & Windows not booting, but I've never seen a PC not power up unless either the PSU or power on/off switch were dead.
Generally in order to boot, I need to pull the power plug for a minute or two, plug it back in and then the PC will start up...boot into Windows & act like nothing was wrong. Heck I've easily run at 3.1Ghz and been completely stable after running 10hrs of ORTHOS. But after turning my PC off, it won't turn back on.
Running the PC at stock speed seem's to work just fine and It will turn on every time. So this seems to be overclocking related.
What I can say is that the motherboard is getting power as the green light on the board remains lit at all times.
It could be the PSU but all of it's rails seem fine and look fairly stable. Besides it worked well when hooked up to the A8N-SLI Premium.
(Is there a compatability issue I'm not aware of)?
Anyway, if anyone has any thoughts or has experienced the same, I'd love to hear them
Cheers.
