Weird problem...

[Azndude2190]

I was overclocking my San Diego 3700 today...was up to 2600MHz, I rebooted,but my internet would no longer work. My computer gave me the "not connected" message.I'm on a wireless setup using a PCI card.Intially I thought it was the change of temp.(which wasnt that much 41-44) and plus my PCI card is below my vid card which is below the heatsink/cpu. But as soon as I returned to stock speeds at 2200MHz...internet was back as normal.Wierd thing is I was at one point at 2500MHz and everything was also fine. I pretty sure this isnt some random incident cause I rebooted about 4 times at 2600MHz and internet wouldnt work,but as soon as I was down to 2200MHz(stock)...everything was fine.

It could be that your motherboard isn't locking your PCI bus. If your PCI bus is being run too far out of spec, PCI cards may cease to function.

edit: might also be some kind of northbridge-related issue. If that's overheating due to running at high HTT speeds, weird things might occur.

For some reason, my Chaintech vnf3-250's onboard NIC wigged out whenever I overvolted my RAM and ran it faster than 200 mhz.

Well I left in at stock and turned of the computer.Than I turned it back on tried the ocing again now its @2700MHz and internet is fine.

...weird

Hmm weird. Maybe you found an HTT speed where the PCI bus wasn't locking properly. Good job on getting it to work anyway, nice overclock.
