Registry errors when overclocking?

[Passions]

Hi, I have a P3-600E, and everything is fine. But when I bump to 800mhz, occasionally I will get registry errors when I reboot or start up again. It didnt really bother me until I finally got tired of it and went to 600mhz again. Is there a way to get rid of those damn reg errrors? I have 128-P133 Crucial 7E ram. Should I reinstall windows or anything?

Raise your voltage.

right rise voltage and remember stay COOL (orb's or alpha)

I did that so many times I think my REgistry is hosed. I need to reformat now that I found my CPU's max. But yes raise the voltage. Buzzzzzzzzzz 110 Volts j/k

Huh? I always thought that you'd get registry errors if you oc the fsb too high for the hd. Why would it help to raise the voltage? Wouldn't it be better to lower the pio on the hd?

 

[lotust]

Bakwetu I think your right too. I have a maxtor and ive been told that my problem too. I heard that Maxtors have that problem.

Rib-man,

Make sure that your PCI divider is set to 1/4 when you hit 133fsb. Also, for testing purposes, slow down all your memory timings to the absolute slowest. If the registry errors go away, crank up the timings slowly, testing extensively at each setting.

If you havent bumped the voltage yet then by all means do so if your posting and getting to windows only to be stoped by a registry error then a .5 jump in voltage may be all you need the p3's can handle up to 1.9 volts with ease if you have the proper cooling i personaly recomend you stay at or below 1.85 to avoid premature electro migration. It will happen eventualy but feeding to much voltage can greatly increase the process and cause your chip to loose stabilty at higher overclocked speeds. Let us know how it turns out. As far as the registry errors being cause by an overclocked ide bus, that *can* cause registry errors however 99.9% of the registry errors that occure on an overclocked system are due to the cpu. Most ide drives can handle a couple extra mhz... unless they are older drives. Check your motherboard for divider support and you may be able to get your drive in spec.

It's funny how this seems to happen with Intel systems mostly, I don't know how many registries I?ve hosed in the past... Funny thing is that my current AMD system never has that problem, It either locks up, or won't boot, never registry errors. Anyone know why this might be?

 

[Dulanic]

Just luck. My AMD fubs up the registry also if I OC too high. FSB only gave me kernel blue screens in Win2K.

 

[Dulanic]

Actually here is the main thing. Windows Protection Errors are RAM is set too high, registry is CPU OCed too high.

okay im at 780mhz and no reg errors anymore. i bumped the voltage to 1.75v so i am smooth sailing, wa hoooo thx!

When OCing...

BACK UP YOUR REGISTRY!

That way if you do hose your registry, all you have to do is:

1) Turn your CPU down to a safe speed
2) Reboot to a DOS prompt
3) Run "scanreg /restore" & restore the backup
4) Reboot into normal mode
