Windows and overclocking
when i overclock my cpu beyond 2.6+ sometimes it wont get past start up and i have to turn off the computer for 20sec to reset the bios. and when i get into windows98 it says that there is errors in drivers and tries to back up the registry. my motherboard supports the barton 3000+. i havnt altered any of the cpu voltage yet is that the prob cos i'm a bit worried about altering the voltage in fear of burning out.
it says i can increase by +5%, +7.5% and +10%.
please can anyone help. this has been annoying me for a while.
thanks
Sy

When u oc too high, windows starts giving errors, or won't start p, etc. If upping the voltage won't keep the system stable, than ur prolly OC'ing too high.

[COLOR=red]NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! [/COLOR] 65C is bad! Over 70C CPU DIES... over 50C and you risk looseing you on chip cache (then it will run like a turtle) (I have seen it a few times it does happen)..... shoot for aroud 30C-40C (under no load) you need eather more airlow, a bigger cpu fan or a new cpu cooler? what hind of rig you got going here thow in some details cpu cooler... fans... etc?
need some really good cooling for this kinda stuff!!!!!!!
