I just swapped from a Asus P3B-F motherboard to a Asus P3V4X so I could try overclocking my 600mhz slot one CPU to 800mhz.
To make a long story short for about 2-3 hours I had the system running great at 800mhz playing Q2 running MS Office programs etc.
I leave the computer for an hour and come back and its froze solid.
I try rebooting and it freezes in windows startup everytime.
I figure it might not like the overclock settings so I go back to stock settings (600mhz).
System still freezes on windows startup(you know where the windows startup sound plays).
After trying some different things I find out I am able to boot in windows if I first go into safe mode and set my display settings to 800x600/256 colors or lower.
Anything higher results in total lockup on boot. (also I can't change res/color depth without having windows force a reboot on me even though I have it set to change without rebooting.)
My video card is a Leadtek Geforce256 32 megDDR.
I have noticed the cooling fan on it is froze solid.(not sure how long ago the fan died?)
I have tried removing "ALL" Nvidia drivers, installed stock VGA driver and made sure all refrences to Nvidia in system registry were cleared out as well and then reinstalled the latest Nvidia drivers.
Still the same problem.
I have tried having opening the case and having a fan blow on the Video card and still no change, so I dont think it's heat releated. (BTW the video card is not and never has been overclocked)
I know there were some problems in the past with Nvidia cards and VIA Apollo Pro chipsets, but I was under the impression all those issues had been resolved.
I'm using latest video drivers.
The Motherboard is brand new.
CPU is 109F at stock speed and 120F (seems high) when o/c to 800mhz.
No IRQ conflects that I can find.
Any ideas???
