O/C problem with 900mhz T/bird

[Codemaster47]

Hey can anybody please give me what is this problem all about?
Recently I bought a Thunderbird 900mHz with the Asus A7V133.
I must say, this is the only board that I can bring the FSB higher than 108mHz.
I bought an MSI board too, and it will not POST during boot.

Well, as I can bring it up higher than 108, I tried bringing it to 124mHz with 1.55V.
And the problem is this.

Clocking higher than 115mHz will cause the same problem below.
The Dual Boot screen will not show up. (WinME and Win2K)
If really it showed up, some weird registers problem occur.
If it really boots under ME, it will show the blue screen o death.

Anybody can tell me why?
Thanks very much. And I must say, this Asus A7V133 rocks big time!!!!

The voltage is too low for what you are wanting to accomplish. Try increasing the voltage to 1.80V if you have good cooling. Also if you have an unlocked 900, or have unlocked it yourself, drop the multiplier down to 7.5 and set the FSB at 133. That should give you a good starting point. Just slowly increase your FSB from there if it runs well. I assume that you have good quality PC133 RAM?

Use defogger paint. I used the pencil and it's a cheap junky way to do it.....While it worked I was running my 900mhz T-Bird at 1180MHz w/fop38
