Okay.
I am out of ideas, so here i am.
My rig specs are in my sig.
I decided to try to OC my 3200+ on my my Asus K8V SE Deluxe, since according to a few people here & elsewhere, it has AGP/PCI locks at 234/267/300, & i figured, why not?
Last night i gave it a try, but no go.
I wasn't sure if the SATA ports were locked, & being a bit worried, i decided to disconnect my two storage SATA drives, & just attempt to get into Windows @ 234 [FSB] with the Raptor.
Today, i set everything back to stock to get back into Windows, & updated my Bios from 1004 to 1005.
Well, ever since the attempted run at 234...all hell broke loose.
I got random freezes in Windows within a couple minutes of startup, & opening UT2k4 or most programs would cause freezing or BSODs (NOT related to the UT2k4 + SP2 + A64 bug; that i have taken care of by running the old drivers).
I decided to re-image my OS drive, but for some reason, Drive Image kept giving me errors & wouldn't re-image for me.
So reformat it was.
Usually that's a piece of cake for me, but this time i cannot get anywhere :|.
Every effing time i tried to reinstall i got a different BSOD at some time during the install, many of which i had never heard of.
Chkdsk says the HDD is okay, though it did repair some files.
My HDD-checker utility is currently checking it as well, & so far it's good.
WTF can i do?
All these components were working flawlessly before i tried OCing & updated the bios.
Did i screw up my Raptor?
Or maybe the new bios is not agreeing with my setup?
I do not know what else to try, since after over ten attempted Windows reinstalls...i know something is very wrong.
Any help or advice would be appreciated
