help with oc

hello frens...........

I have oced my 2.4 prescott to 3.4 to 3.6... while i running some games or cpu intensive apps... at first it would run find but after somewhile the BLUE SCREEN would appear... i noticed that my temps are all fine.. and can it be the power supply voltage... lousy Power supply.... the voltage i set in bios and the voltage it shows in cpu-z is different... where a lower voltage value are diaplayed in CPU-z... i need to know if my power is the culprit so that i can change to anew better one.... any ideas......????

With cheaper lesser quality power supplies the voltage can fluctuate a little. I know it does on my system with my generic 550W psu...

Correct me if i am wrong-blue screen usually means memory(RAM) problems. U might want to play around with the memory-could probably start by increasing the Vdimm...

Some mobo's undervolt the vcore (voltage to cpu). Ex. the abit NF7 series. Changing the psu wont make a difference. You just gotta set the vcore in BIOS higher than what are shooting for and then check with MBM5 etc to see if you hit what you're aiming for. Example, set it to 1.70 if you want 1.65

Have you run Memtest86 to make sure your ram is stable?

You can dowload and run Motherboard Monitor 5 to watch your psu's voltage rails if you're worried about its ability to provide steady power. Use the "sys log" or "Interval log" feature to record the readings to a text.doc. After it blue screens, go back and check the log to see if the power rails were flucuating too much.

ok... i will do that....... thanks..
