I have a foxconn 6150K8MA-8EKRS and X2 3800+ @2.5ghz. It's dual prime stable. But I kept getting BSOD in XP after resuming from S3 sleep. after checking a lot of stuff, I checked my vcore with cpuz and no wonder! My vcore dropped from 1.4 to 1.35 after the resume. At least it doesn't drop again after subsequent sleep/resume.

I have a Fortron (FSP) 400w PSU, 2 sata HD, 1 dvd-rom, and 1 7600GT. 400w should be plenty right? and Fortron is a good brand, I think.

any suggestions? thanks.

I figired it out: instead of setting vcore, set the vcore adjustment instead. I.e., if stock = 1.35, instead of setting vcore to 1.40, set the vcore adjustment to +40mv or +60mv. This will keep after a S3 standby and resume.

That would be because of overclocker's BIOS halfbakery that doesn't reapply its tweaks during an S3-wakeup.
