i managed to unlock the multiplier on my Duron yesterday, but it won't go past 8x. if i put the fsb past 104, it crashes at windows splash screen with GPE. at 9x100, it won't even post.

what could be causing this to happen. any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you need some more voltage. With those temperatures, heat shouldn't be an issue. Give it around 1.75v or 1.8v and then try 100*9.0 and see what it does. If it still doesn't do anything, it might be the chip.
