im having some 'weird' problems with regards to my cpu..
before when i first had the cpu and the motherboard, i found the limit of the fsb at 192, so i backed down to 190 to be safe. i was using the highest multiplier at the time, 12.5 (im using an epox 8rda+ board) and the speed was good at 2375Mhz or 2.39ghz..
recently i have been having problems with running it at even 12 x 190, so now im having to back down to 11.5 x 190 and as the fsb of the board is at its limit, i dont really want to push it further..
does anyone know whats happening with my cpu? is it dieing or something?
it used to work at about 1.65V @ 12.5 x 190, now its just managing to work at 11.5 x 12 @ 1.6V. even when i push it to 12 x 190 @ 1.7V, it wont finish 3dmark 2001se's default test, it crashes doing the theroy tests... i think its the first one after the nature test that it just stops...
please can someone tell me what the heck is going on? will i need a new cpu?
