Hi all,
I'm doing my first experimentation with overclocking. My system specs quickly:
Athlon 2100+
512mb Crucial PC2700 RAM (2x256)
Epox EP-8RDA+
So far I don't seem to be doing so good. Last night I ran Prime95 before going to bed and when I checked the PC after I woke up it had rebooted. Is this strange? I've already run a few tests at different speeds and gotten errors so I scaled back a bit. But I wouldn't think it would be normal for the computer to reboot itself.
Just to make sure of a couple things - since my RAM is actually 333MHz, it wouldn't be considered oc'ing it to run at 166MHz, correct? Right now I'm only up to about 145MHz and it seems unstable (at least under Prime95). I even "relaxed" the timings down to 7-3-3-2.5.
Thanks!
