this is incredible

when i oc my cel566 from 66 to 83mhz the windows directory dissapears, config.sys gets 5 lines corrupted and scandisk reports hundreds of errors (like win32.dll missing ) .

this happens only when i oc the cpu and raise the voltage to 1.75v

any ideas from the experts????

I would guess that rather than being a CPU problem, it would be related to the high PCI bus speed and maybe your hard drive not being able to handle the 41.5MHz. This is usually the reason why you get so much corruption.

Have you tried using the 100MHz FSB? That brings the PCI bus back into spec, and I think you will find that you won't have any more corruption.
 
i will try 100
your thought is smart indeed
do you have any suggestion for bios settings that might affect this operation
cooling is not an issue since i have an excellent hsk for oc
thank you again
 
Normally most boards won't give you a PCI divider option for 83MHz FSB.

If your hard drive cannot handle the speed, there's not much you can do about it, apart from back off the speed.
 
so you think that 100mhz fsb gets the pci clock back to 33?
i am considerin the possibility of having the live! audio card into a shared pci/agp slot. usually they are pci1 and pci5
 
dear andy,

your suggestion resolved the issue of data corruption easily
now i have a happy cel566 oc´d to 850 like a rock
your help is greatly appreciated
thanks

i will rate your accordingly with an A+!

 
Glad to hear that your issue is resolved.

If you have your SBLive sitting in PCI Slot 1, I suggest you move it to something like PCI Slot 3. This will eliminate sharing of resources, as the sound card and video card will not have to fight for resources and possibly reduce performance.

If anything, it will be cooler for your system as you video card and SBLives tend to get very hot.
 
i have sbllive at pci4 but it gets the same irq with the hard drive controller (irq10)
sandra gives a 10000 for the hard drive which is unacceptable
i think this is where i need to focus now
sandra used to give a 17000 instead for the hd (WD207BA @7200)
