e2140 + gigabyte p35-ds3r overclocking issues...

[Jbale]

Hey guys,


So I recently noticed that games were running a hell of a lot slower, so I booted up CPUID and noticed that my comp was running at 1.6ghz (stock) from the 2.66ghz (333x8) I had it at.

I went into BIOS to take a look at first, it looked as if the BIOS options had changed, second when I started playing around with settings I would reboot and the rig wouldn't even start booting, it would start turn off, start turn off, start turn off and then boot with all settings reset.

What is going on? I'm also having an issue trying to find out where the DRAM SPD option is, I want to change it so its 1:1 but can't find the option to do so....

Intel e2140 Dual Core processor
Intel Stock Aluminum Heatsink Fan
Gigabyte P35 DS3R

2Gb Kingston DDR2 800Mhz pc-6400
Seagate 500Gb 7200.11rpm 32mb HDD
XFX 8800gts 640mb PCI-e
LG 18x Lightscribe DVD-RW SATA (Black)
Ultra 500w XVS X-Connect Gaming Power Supply

Those are the specs...WinXP Pro SP2

Here is a screenshot of the BIOS

This is similar to how the BIOS used to look..:

Though I don't remember updating the BIOS...

Any help on what to change so that I can get her back up @ 2.66 would be much appreciated.


Cheers!

I've noticed that my DDR Voltage says it has "Failed"...not sure if this has to do with anything...

If your DDR voltage is only showing PASS/FAIL, then you have an older BIOS revision.
I would clear the CMOS, to set BIOS defaults, then I would use a bootable USB flash stick to flash the BIOS to newest, and then I would try overclocking again.
Don't forget to hit CTRL+F1 at the main BIOS menu to unlock the advanced setttings.

I have two E2140s in P35-DS3R v1.0 mobos running at 3.2Ghz.
