Overclocking Problems with Ip35

[strike101]

I've been using my IP35 + E4300 @ 333fsb for almost 2 years without problems... all stock settings except for a .05 voltage increase in cpu vcore

last week my harddrive started to slown down , i thought it was a failing drive so i bought a new HDD and to my surprise i got the same problem.... Read and Write speed is horribly slow... Windows takes 2-3 min to bootup

I tried to boot at default clock settings and everything is fine... no problems and etc....

so my question is what happened ? the system used too be rock stable @ 333 fsb , 24/7 , pure gaming at media encoding

i tried too boot @ 333fsb again ... increased the CPU Vcore more , the NB , SB and DDR voltage... still the same HDD Slowdowns...

no matter what i do the HDD is very slow at overclocked settings....

Intel E4300 , Abit Ip35 , 3x1Gb Transcend RAM , 500Gb Seagate HDD SATA ( and a new WD Caviar Green 1tb ) , Gigabyte Superb 550w PSU

Is your PCI express frequency manually set for 100mhz?

333 FSB is not overclocking that motherboard - just the CPU - as the P35 chipset does support 333fsb CPU's. So I'd check all other settings to make sure they are properly set such as memory etc, but if you havn't messed with them they should be fine at 333. CPU going bad???

is there anyway to delete this topic ? cause it's not overclocking related anymore & & ...

The slow read/write performance of my HDD's also occurs when booting at default settings , and the only way to fix it is to keep resetting/rebooting the system , there's a slight chance tha it'll boot up fast without any problems..

after booting successfully without the slowdowns , Tried benchmarking (3dmark) , orthos for 8 hours and encoded some videos... and it ran straight without problems..

my only option now is not to shutdown/restart the pc

so is it a Mobo or HDD or PSU related problem ?
