Ok lol first off sorry guys for newbing up your forums and ty to everyone that responds to all my not so "smart" of questions

Ok lol if i try and overclock my system at all i can do it as long as i dont touch any ram setting if i do adjust anything then either

a. my computer wont start
b. will start up i press tab to see post it goes to 2 out of my 4 gigs (ram checking) then restarts
c. Gives me a checksum error where it tells me to place a disk in my A drive. the problem i dont have an a drive ;(

ok to all the smartys out there in internet land what am i doing wrong and what can i do to fix it lol

I am running an abit ip-35 e
corsair 800mhz ram 4 gigs
q6600 proccessor.


I have overclocked my pc to 2.7 ghz without any problems im idaling at 34c but i couldnt touch any ram settings.


also if i try to change my ram timing my computer will give me a check sum error. right now my ram voltage is set to 1.8 volts and im using

what cooler are you using?

although temprature might not be a problem on cold boot, you wont get too far with a Q6600 without serious cooling.
 
I that cooler should be good for upto 3ghz what you might want to do is to run your mem at 1:1 with the system clock or if it is by qdr fsb run 2:1(fsb:mem). also if you oc the mem try to up the volt. If this doesn't work try looking for the new bios for your mobo.
 
i tried 1:1 and 2:1 i tried to up the voltage to 2.1 and no new bios ;(

thanks for the info though its such a wierd problem i just dont no what to do
 
Test each stick by itself in memtest...set the voltage each time to 2.1v and timings 4-4-4-12 with no overclock on them (DDR2-800 speed). Make sure they pass each test by themselves.

Then after they pass, up your Northbridge voltage (MCH) a notch and set your fsb to 333Mhz and your CPU multiplyer at 9x. Then set your memory ratio to 1:1.20 (will give you DDR2-800). Then set your voltage on the CPU to 1.35v and turn off everything under CPU features. Make sure you have C1E, EIST, Virtulization etc all off. 1.35 is about stock voltage when speedstep is running your cpu at full speed so it's perfectly safe.

See how that works.
