OCing help

[fsstrike]

I have an A64 3400+ on a Chaintech ZNF3-250 and OCZ 433 memory. On my stock HSF I can push 2.4 but after about 1 hour my comp freezes / crashes. Is this because it is over heating?

In my computer I also have:

DVD ROM, CD Burner, Floppy, Firewire PCI card, Sound Blaster LIVE PCI. Is it because I have too many PCI devices? And if I get a new copper HSF, such as the Zalman 7000a cu, will my OC's be more stable? By the way, my comp is running in an Antec Super Lanboy, so I am assuming the airflow is quite good.

Check out your temps and stablity, there's no way to tell what's wrong without data. Get motherboard monitor 5 to monitor your temps and voltages or if your board came with a monitoring program, use that. Also check for stablity using prime95 and your favorite games.

I just mbm5, and im having a hard time understanding it. It says my Case is 31 Degrees C, and it says my CPU is -15? What does that mean? Does it mean my CPU is running at 16 degrees?

It prolly means MBM5 is not set up right.

You should be able to find your motherboard in the list to configure MBM5. On the other hand, the guy who created MBM5 just recently gave up the project cuz the mobo companies w/n supply data to help him configure the program for their mobo's.

You may have to experiment to find the right sensors for your setup
