If I have to run FSB at 100 with no OCing, what part is dying?

[fhertlein]

I never have taken my OCing over the top.

P4 2.4c, Enermax 550(new), Kingston HyperX 512, Audigy 2, 9800Pro, Asus P4C800-E Dlx, Raptors as RAID 0, Sony Dv-RW are the key pieces. Xp Pro.

What component is responsible for me having to run at 100 FSB for the system to even accomplish anything?

Thanks.

If you're running 100FSB on a 2.4C, then you're running at 1200Mhz?

 

[fhertlein]

Yes

There may be some jumper of some sort plugged in that shouldnt be.

The system had been up and running for about a month. One day, I had left the system on overnight, and it was basically dead in the morning.

What speed is the HyperX rated for?

The problem here is likely either ram, board (northbridge) or cpu. They all don't sound likely though, so it could possibly be something else. Your board does have AGP/PCI locks right? I'm pretty sure the intel chipset boards and nforce 2 boards all have that.

HyperX is 3500 DDR400 2-3-3-7 2.6v. I also have tried 2.4 and 2.6c CPUs. Northbridge has active cooling.

I also have four sticks of Corsair 3200LL that I have tried in the various slots.

If you're saying your system is working at 100FSB but cannot work at the rated 200FSB, then I guess you have to try the old elimination method. Although I seriously doubt the DVD-RW and Audigy2 are the culprits.

Yeah, tear out everything but the ram and video and work from there. Sounds like it must be the motherboard at this point thoudgh.

I now have the system able to run at 2.4c.

However, the RAID0 setup, whether on the Promise Controller or Intel, really is flaky.

Is there something I need to know about Raptors/SATA/Raid on the P4C800 mobos?
