OC Support Please

[thekarney]

I got my system and overclocked it to 10x250 no problem. It would stay stable for as long as I kept it on. (sometimes a couple days at a time) I noticed thought that the heat was a little too high for my liking. It idled around 42-44 and full load at about 48-52 so I put it back down to it's native speed at 10x200 and ordered a Zalman 7000Cu-B to cool it down. I installed the heatsink and now idle at about 36-38 and full loads at about 44-46 but I am getting dumps now. I will post fine and boot windows but after a short while it will just reboot on me and the same thing: posts fine, loads windows and then short while later reboots on its own. I know its not a cooling problem. I have tried the oc two different ways

10x250 - 2500
9x275 - 2475 (the memory's native speed)

Please leave feedback on what might be the problem.

check the ram....may also want to move the vdimm up and down and check it...some TCCD chips dont like the vdimm...

Also do you have automatic restarts checked in winXP??? May want to disable that in case it is masking a BSOD....

I would think the PSU was good but check the voltages...

What do you mean by check the ram?

Where would the automatic restart options be accessed?

The automatic restart if error occurs is default in winXP...It is on unless you know you turned it off....It just restarts instead of freezes at the blue screen so it can sorta mask itself as power issues, heat, etc....


Check the ram by lower the speed, and timings...and running memtest86+ on it.....

start - control panel - system - advanced - startup and recovery ....you will see it!!!
