Describe you rig and OS and such. 😉

Actually, I just looked at your rig. You are OC right about the go nogo point. What are your temps? Back off a little on the FSB and see if that helps. SETI will freeze a computer that is operating on shaky ground.

What are your temperature readings of your CPU? If they are above 50C you might have to slow it down a little. 😉

Yeah, I'd say back down the OC a little. You've got plenty of power there. Be a little conservative till you get seti stable. Let us know how it goes.

my temps are like 42 C idle runnin IM 24/7 and 47-49 load

Definitely back down on the OC.

When I first installed Seti on my Epox8KHA+ with an Athlon XP 1600+ I had the FSB at about 146-147. Seti refused to run.

So, I backed the FSB back to 133 and then slowly brought it back up till the system ran stable with Seti.

I now have the FSB at 143 and the processor at 1.5 Ghz and everything is running happily.

Good Luck!
