o/c problems with 1.8a

[zer0burn]

ok my 1.8a cant go above 115 fsb. It boots then proceeds to go into windows but I get an error saying windows must restart. My 12v line is very low at 11.73 could this be the problem?

 

[paralazarguer]

Yes. Do you have the P4 power connector in? Is it a good power supply. Have you tried slightly over volting?

 

[zer0burn]

nope my psu doesnt have one of those

Go into the bios under "frequency/voltage control" and see if your board allows cpu vcore increases. I would try running at 1.65 volts, and also try the 4:5 ratio setting (available only at 133 and above). If your board won't post, just enable the cmos jumper for a few seconds (with power supply unplugged), and return to normal position. Then try more or less voltage, or even a small increase in the memory voltage (2.6-2.7 for ddram), and save and exit until your system is stable.

ive played around with the voltages has nothing to do with them tried them at there highest.

Wait... your PSU doesn't have a p4 power connector???

My 12v is at 11.73 too (actually go as low as 11.55v). I don't think it is the problem. what powersupply you using? I have mine at 127Fsb now.

 

[zer0burn]

an antec 400watt psu. 11.73 wasnt even during load though just idling

 

[zer0burn]

check back in 10 mins tell ya if it was the psu

 

[Jgtdragon]

Keep us updated.🙂

ok got the new PSU in my 12v was fine with this new one.

when i go above 115fsb I still get this error on a black screen

"while initializing device NDIS:
windows protection error. You must restart your computer"

I can post @ 133fsb with very little voltage so I dont think its the chip.

Im using an abit IT7
512 true samsung pc2700
win 98

Not familiar with that motherboard. Does it have agp/pci "fix" feature that locks those in place? Might be a pci card don't like increase fsb.

 

[zer0burn]

yup its one of the new i845e boards. GOt them locked at 33mhz

 

[Jgtdragon]

You using the newest bios? The reason I asked is because I had a similar problem before with my Abit Th7-II. In the bios I also have a fix feature, but I can even overclock the fsb over 110 with having lots of problem. I gave up for about a month until I got a beta bios from overclockers.com and the fix feature worked. I can even bootup at 133 now, before it doesn't even POST.

 

[zer0burn]

bios that came with the board and theres no new ones at the website, and others have been able to...

 

[THUGSROOK]

you shoulda mentioned it was a NDIS.VXD error in the 1st place!

this is a windows98 1st edition error.
here is the patch. put in your windows\system dir and reboot.

i highly suggest you dump win98FE and get at least win98SE 😉

 

[THUGSROOK]

PS: you needed a new PSU anyways 😉

 

[zer0burn]

getting win xp pro tomorrow
