I was experimenting with oc'ing my t-birb 900 on an Abit kt7-raid
pushed to hard to fast and receiced a complimentary bsod! The system would boot to the splash screen in ME and crash. booted with floppy, ran scandisk and my win.ini file was damaged. I let scandisk fix it and everything seems fine except bootup is slower. My question is should I bail, format start over??????
 
I was at 10x with 103 fsb jumped to 11x and 106fsb i just defragged and
rebooted and bootup was normal. I probably over reacted.
 
voltage was stock. I am at 1031 now very stable. I figured the voltage should have went up the minute i crashed! How far should i go???
 
You should always be trying these things in small stages. I would recommend you first use only multiplier, and keep going up until it won't boot. Raise the voltage and repeat. When you've found the limit, back it off, and try increasing the FSB, and, if possible, lowering the voltage a bit.
