The scenario:
I just adjusted my multiplyer to 12.0 from the stock 10.5. This OC'd my system to 1.6ghz from 1.4ghz. I fired up the comp and checked my CPU temp. It was running at 40 degrees (no worries there). I then ran 3dMark2001 and it made it through 1/2 the test and then quit and went back to my desktop screen. I rebooted and when it booted back up my screen went blue and said something like "Beginning physical memory dump". Panicked I shut it down and then I fired it up again and changed the multiplyer back to the original settings (10.5). I saved to CMOS and let it boot to windows. When my desktop came up I checked my via hardware monitor to make certain my CPU temps were ok (they were) but it posted a warning that my "2.5 voltage is too low"

Checking my voltages here's what they read:
Vcore=1.79
2.5V value=0.41
3.3V Value=3.46
5V Value=4.73
12V value=12.13

So my questions are:

1. What happened to my 2.5V Value? Why is it reading .041??

2. What does that 2.5V actually control anyway?

3. How do I fix it?????

4. Is my comp in peril now?


thanks,
Mj2k

1600 ghz, I'm surprised your cpu didn't disappear in a puff of smoke 🙂 Seriously though, try clearing your CMOS & uninstalling & reinstalling your hardware monitoring software. IIRC that voltage is the memory voltage. If it was really that low I doubt your computer would even POST.
 
Phew, But another silly question:
How do i clear my CMOS?

Ps. Yup 1600GHZ would have been a reach LOL...Meant 1.6, but you knew that.
 
PipBoy has a good suggestion there..what's this...

This is kind of like saying "I will NEVER drink again" after that all night bender! You know you WILL, but you are trying to appease the Gods to cut you some slack. Heh, heh...

Plus now that I have seen that 1600mhz posted on my boot screen it's hard to get out of my mind.

All this is pending my board not frying like a french fry if the voltage problem is not resolved by pipboys suggestion.

Let us pray!

Not silly at all, there should be 3 pins w/a jumper connecting 2 of them on your motherboard. You need to check the manual for which ones to connect to clear it.
 


<< How do i clear my CMOS? >>

There should be instructions in your manual, page 38 (?). Otherwise, there should be jumpers by the southbridge called CMOS Clear or Clear CMOS. Turn the comp off, just to be safe - unplug the power supply from the outlet. Wait a few seconds then move the Clear CMOS jumpers from pins 1 & 2 to pins 2 & 3. Leave it there for a few then put it back to the original/default (Pins 1 & 2) position. DO NOT POWER ON WITH THE PINS STILL IN "CLEAR" POSITION (pins 2 & 3). Power on. I'm not sure what that 2.5v is for. DDR memory voltage? But your using PC133, no? That's 3.3v, maybe the 2.5v is negligible.
 
Overclocking is a disease, you will do it again and again and never quit until all options are gone.
There is no cure
Next will be a new processor and better ram, new motherboard and graphic card. Where does it stop.
It dosen't, you've been overcome with the case of the maybees.
Have fun and freak out at the same time.
