I have athlon XP 2500+ and kingston PC3200+ with CL3 on my Asus A7v600 motherboard.

My question is will my memory will work fine with overclock athlon XP2500+?

The reason I asked this question that I got problem with my computer last week where I couldn't boot up my computer. When I tried to reinstall windows, i lost all my drive partition, what come up was only this sign 🙂|) besides my partition which is usually C:, D:, etc.
I can't reinstall my windows, however there were a error message: "Page_fault in Non_Paged Area"
When I checked knowledgebase in windows.com, There were many suggestion that may cause the error. One of them stated: "The memory is defective"

Luckily I have maxtorblast 3 to reformat my hard drive and reinstall windows, but i loose some of my file. It works fine right now, it seems the memory work just fine, but i am afraid the same problem will come up again.
So please let me know, if anybody know answer to my question and also the cause of that error message.

I really appriciate for the reply.
 
Your RAM should work with your motherboard. Download Memtest86+ and run it for several hours to see if your RAM is working fine or not.

Also, your overclock may not be 100% stable. I'm against the common belief that almost all XP2500+ chips can hit 3200+ at stock voltage and stuff and can pass CPU intensive tests like Prime95. Windows installations can be very finicky if you're overclocking.

Do you get the errors at stock speeds?
 
should not experience any problems with CL3 ram
there are alot of rams with high FSB support but relax timings like 3-4-4-8
 
It sounds as if you either ruined your hard-drive, or you have your pci bus so far "out of spec", that the processor isn't able to read the data from it correctly. Your board doesn't have pci/agp locks. That's why all of us overclockers use nForce2 boards, so we can lock both buses at 33 & 66mhz, respectively, and set our fsb to anything that our processors & ram can handle.🙂 With that board, you have to keep the proc.'s fsb at either 266, 333, or 400, or close enough to one of the 3 not to hurt any of your components (1-6mhz is always safe, some hd's can handle up to about 10mhz higher than they're designed for). Also, you should always install Windows with a non-overclocked system, ESPECIALLY if you don't have a pci lock.🙁
