Should I be concerned??? (short OC story)

[Tiamat]

Ok... so I tried doing 12*200mhz on my DLT3C 1800+ on default voltage and my computer went black directly after posting. After turning off the power to my power supply and trying again, I got some wierd error msg that said something like "Inappropriate CPU..." I turned it off again, and then I lowered the multiplier to "10" and it works now. Did I get that msg because my CPU voltage was too low? or is it something more serious? I personally have never seen that message before...

What motherboard were you using??? That msg is a new one for me.... I think it is just a failed boot for whatever reason, vcore, cpu limitation, etc....I would try a vcore boost and try it again...It seems easy enough to reset out of it so go again and try...

I think maybe your BIOS does not like that multiplier...leave it at 11.5 and FSB overclock, or give it more voltage

The error msg was more like "CPU Unworkable... "

Basically at 200fsb, any multiplier after 11 gives me that error. (Default is 11.5) FOr it to boot at 11, i had to up the voltage to 1.65V.
I have the ABIT NF7-S version 2.
