When overclocking

If you increase the frequency in a large step at once, your motherboard may not boot at all and you may need to reset the BIOS using the jumper on the motherboard.

To avoid that, it is always suggested that you increase the frequency in small steps. Then, you will be able to boot into windows. The failure will manifest itself as a program crashing in windows. So, you will not have to reset the BIOS. You just go back into the BIOS and reduce the frequency a little bit.

This is weird, super pi and Prime 95 is having error after error even at stock volts.

Stock speed also? If you are overclocked, turn it down. And I usually use 5Mhz increments on my HTT when overclocking my 3800 X2.
 
No problem with Prime95!

If this is a system that you just put together, you need to set up the BIOS properly. Sometimes, default settings are not the best for the components you have. For example, your memory timings may be wrong. Your memory may require a higher voltage than the default etc.

What is your system detail?

Hold on, I'll put it in my sig when I get back, but I have an M2N-E so the max voltage for ram is 1.95, memory timings are slower than normal, I set my components back to stock to see if that helps.
 
Sorry man, the M2N-E is horrible for OCing. I built a system with the same board, headache after headache.

Try putting everything at stock, then running memtest 386+.

If it gives you errors, go into bios and up the voltage for your memory a bit. It's kinda weird how the M2N-E works.
 
Everything is at stock, it's been stable for a while now, inspire was able to get his X2 3800+ to 2.8GHZ on this board, maybe I need better cooling. Does 800MHZ make a big diffrence?
 
I have found that you do have to increase in small increments, but I couldn't give you an explaination as to why... if anyone can i'd appreciate it.
