okay, so, i have this opteron 165, and an asus a8n e. I've had it overclocked to 3 ghz but i reinstalled windows and decided i would clock it down for the install just for stability sake. Now i try to overclock it, it will POST but then it gets stuck at the xp bootscreen. not frozen the progress bar just goes and goes and goes. I put the clocks to stock and goes in fine. then i got to thinking, what would cause that, i have no idea. can someone enlighten me?
 
check to make sure memory settings are the same as well (proper divider/timings), could be possible it starts loading things into memory and breaks, thus sitting at the load. I'm unfamiliar with your board, but I know mine only 2 of my sata cables are locked, the other two become unusable when ocing, dunno if this helps...
 
hmm, i dunno. i specifically lock the pci @ 33, my bios locks the pcie by default @ 100mhz. i divided the memory exactly how i had it before @ 266. i even pumped the vcore. probably isnt my psu, i have the same as you the ultra xfinity 500w. i dunno, maybe my windows just doesn't like me.
 
I'm having a similar thing with OCing a core duo. same drive. could seagates have a problem?
