Ok, so I'm overclocking my 2.4b with northwood on an intell motherboard... using the PLL etc, with CPUFSB.

I have a quick question. I OCed it to about 2.75 ghz (or 150 bus), and it starts to drag, and bump from 8% of proc being used to 70% etc, and temps keep rising 5 and dropping 5. Is this because of my ram? ( i had 768 pc2700 in but a 512 .. had to be RMAed to newegg.... so right now I have a stick of 256 in ) Or is this chip just.. un over-clockable?(unlikely , probably my choice of intel motherboard, lol)

EDIT: I just got a blue screen referencing smb.sys

Oops :-\. Did I f**k anything up? I need some serious help, lol.

smb.sys is the System Monitoring Bus, I believe. It probaly flipped out because of the changes you made while in Windows.

Forget software overclocking and use the BIOS!

Also, you didn't specify which speed of RAM you had. You'll probably need to setup a divider so that your RAM can run at 266MHz (PC2700).
