Overclocking question...

[dmw16]

Ok, so my question is, what is causing my lockups? If the computer will boot into windows, but then locks up is it just a heat/voltage issue? Or could there be other factors and no matter how much cooling I have it will freeze?

EDIT: in response to the memory question; the board has a 5:4 bus divider. So the memory is only running at 200mhz when the CPU is at 250mhz bus.

More than likely it is an overheat or undervoltage issue.

It could just be the limit of the chip. Try upping the voltage a bit. How are you cooling it???

Since your running at ~250MHz FSB and have 433MHz memory, I must ask what speed are you running your memory at?

Try upping the CPU voltage a little bit, and then start backing off the FSB 1 mhz at a time if you can until it's stable. I wouldn't recomend going more than about .1v over the default on a p4. Could also be your temps, what are you using for a heatsink?
