I've got a 1.33 AXIA core tbird running at 1.4 on an epox 8k7a, but I can't seem to get it any faster! I'm running it at 10.5 x 133 with no additional vcore, but I can't get it stable at all at either 11 x 133 or 10.5 x 134, it either wont boot (multiplier at 11) or gets random windows crashes (at 134 fsb), even with .1 or .2 vcore or memory CAS set to 2.5 instead of 2!

Complete system stats:
1.33Ghz Athlon AXIA core
Epox 8k7a
256MB Crucial CAS2
40GB IBM 60GXP
Geforce 2 GTS (oc'd to 215/375)
SB Live X-Gamer 5.1
D-Link NIC
Antec 300w PSU
Alpha 8045 w/ 70cfm Delta fan (full load temp: 36-38C - running seti, eccp, and quake 3 simultaniously)

Any ideas?

Try lowering your multiplier and upping your FSB. The Crucial can handle it unless its a dud stick, but I don't think it is. What do your rail readings look like? Might not be enough juice.

Instead I think its your T-bird. Axia's are one of the earlier steppings, and although they OC'd well at 1 gig, I think 1.33 was near their maximum threshold for that stepping's yields. The AYHJA 1.33's hit 1.6 pretty consistently, but I don't think the AXIA's got anywhere near that. Your CPU temps look good, so I don't think thats the problem.
