Hey all,

Yesterday I decded to start testing the overclocking limits of my Pc and came across an message I haven't seen before.

I've been running my system at 2.4Ghz (prime stable for 8 hours, haven't checked further than that.)

However, When I up my fsb to 255, I get an message at the POST screen after the IDE drives check.

"System is in safe mode please turn off overclocking in bios. It then gives the option to go into the bios or "push F11 to continue). If I push f11, the computer boots at default.

I've tried lowering my ram limit to 100, and decreasing the HT to 2, with the same result. Is this an option on the MSI bios I can turn off? My temps at 2.4 are 35 idle and 51 at heavy load. My voltage iis 1.55, and I tried uping it a bit to see if that was the problem (no such luck)

Anyway, if someone could help me out, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

CPU AMD64 3200+ (winchester)
OCZ PC3500 EB
