Why does this happen

[Losty]

I have my system (look @ losty's) running at normal right now.
Just tried to oc FSB by 5. Using the fsb plus option i change it from 0 to 5

I change the voltage to 1.85 just on the safe side so i won't have to change it everytime it locks up.

I can run the system fine playing CS, SC, Q3A, seti, blah..etc...
but once i quit one of these games/apps...it locks up...
got my memory on default settings except the clk + pci option

If it works playing these games ... why would it lock up after restarting?

Just Curious...

It could be a number of things: hard drive, chipset, memory, video card, etc. Overclocking the FSB, as you know, overclocks everything else in the system. The VIA KT133 chipset isn't the best for overclocking the FSB, though some claim great success with it. The most I was able to O/C was at 103; anything more and my system became unstable. The lockups are probably memory/HD related.

well...it can't be the memory...if i run the fsb at 105 with memory @ normal...100 it still locks up...

i have a scsi wd hdd...i think it can handle it...

true..i'm going for the kt7A board....hope it gets cheap soon...

That happens sometimes to my system. I just underclock my overclocked video card 1mhz and the problem is fixed

LOL...hmm...like the core mhz on your card? I'm running mine @ 215/355

I tried it @ normal and took off 4x but it dind't work so oh wells...

i still can't believe those others on this forum got over 110...
