Here is a stupid question: Can hi temp on cpu cause blue screen?

[TeMpT]

Just wonder if a high temp (50's) cause blue screen or other problems? I understand that heat plays a role in data corruption, but I thought I'd have to be in REALLY high temp to get that.

Not a stupid question at all... Of course, heat may cause blue screens with Windows... It occured to me when my CPU temp reached these 50° C And since I managed to stay around 46, 47 it's perfect and no more troubles....

That's good news...I was beginning to wonder if it was my memory, but then I dropped the multipler and the memory held at 145.

Guess I'll just HAVE to order a better heatsink and fans.

In fact, besides the heat problems solved, I noticed that I got problems when my memory were running more than 145 (not PC 150, just Siemens PC 133). I am being reasonable and staying now at a smooth and rock-stable 9,5 x 108 FSB (RAM at 144), with Duron 650 on MSI K7T Pro2

could also be not enough voltage no?

EDO: How did you get your memory to be higher than the FSB? I thought the FSB dictates the speed on the RAM

bump for EDO

Most newer motherboards have a setting for the RAM speed to be at FSB+33 (which would run PC133 RAM at 133Mhz on a standard 100Mhz bus). Overclocking the FSB to 110 (for example) would then put your memory clock at 110+33, or 143Mhz..
