Hi,
I clean my computer recently, like take everything out and took off the dust. Then I
decided to change where some of the PCI cards were. So move away from video card to
avoid more heat. (I have an old computer, AGP) So I moved it and then I booted up.
The internet started acting funny. It would work but it wouldnt go to all the sites. It
would half load some pages and just sit the, and not download pictures. And it would
start downloading any file. So I reformatted thinking it might solve the problem. But it
didnt. So I reset my BIOS with the jumper. I had my computer OCed from 550mhz to
640mhz. So now it works fine. But when ever I OC back to the speed the net goes
back to being freaked up. I have a PCI network card because my mobo dont have
intergrated lan thing. And Internet worked fine before this happened. And its back in the
same slot.

Help plz
-Matt

It may be that your PCI slots are running too fast due to the overclock. Do you have a PCI-lock on your MoBo?

Your PCI is way over the 33 mhz speed they are designed to run when you OC. I understand it used to work OC'ed but with time, some parts had probably started to fail at higher speed. I say, set the speed back to normal and then slowly OC again while at the same time checking the performance of the system.
