Help with Bios settings.

recently tweeked the Bios settings and video settings and now that it's getting warmer, the system is very unstable. I must have been running right on the ragged edge.

Any suggestions for the following?


EP8RDA+ Rev 1.1, bios 12/03/02
single 512 stick of Corsair XMS pc3200
ATI Radeon 128mb, (not a pro), not modded
Winx XP, with XPSP1A applied.

I paddled over the edge....... ooopsy.
 
prob just back down a bit on the OC, drop the multi by a half and see what happens. if that dosen't do it try relaxing the memory timeings a bit.

the other thing you may want to do is take a GOOD look at the motherboard. Pay particular attention the the row of caps between the parallel port and the cpu socket.
I have the same board and when I was changing cases last week I was suprised to see all those caps were bulging and 2 were starting to leak.
the good news is that I went to the Epox site and registered the motherboard by serial #, then requested a RMA.. and I had the n/chg RMA# within an hour. I was very suprised as I'm not the original owner of this board. Epox knows there was a problem with a lot of caps a year or so ago. But they are taking care of it.
