What do you think Could have gone wrong?

[OverVolt]

I Just finished installing BF1942's v1.3 patch and decided to restart my PC. While it was rebooting it found 60corrupted windows files and only 11 could be repaired :Q. When i treid to log on it just shutdown telling me it couldn't verify my key, then shutoff every time i tried.

I used my WinXP Pro CD and was able to repair the installaion succesfully. I wanna know what you guys thinkcould have went wrong. The rig was overclocked to 147Mhz fsb (294fsb) on Ga-7DX+ AMD761 chipset. I know it didn't have pci locks so that kinda frequency can be dangerous and cause data corruption.

I thought when high fsb cause data corruption it would be a slow process and happen mor often while the computer was on. i checked my HD with the utility from WD's website and iy found 0 errors on my drive (a WD caviar). Only thing i can figure could have went kapuut was my ram which is samsung PC2100 (thought it oc'ed well)

So what do you think went wrong? Sry bout the long post

It's definately a game issue. BF 1942 won't even run with or without the 1.3 patch. Once, it deleted the most important Windows XP file 'NTLDR' for some reason. I'm getting rid of this sucker. $75 Canadian down the drain!:disgust:

That's 147FSB on a 133Mhz board, right? That's not too high at all. 37/74Mhz shouldn't be stressing your bus at all. Maybe it was the game, but it probably wouldn't hurt to check your RAM with Memtest86, just to eliminate it from the equation.
