Why is it that this Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L motherboard looses all LAN when the CPU Host Frequency is pushed past 412Mhz?
Whenever I overclock the E8200 processor up to 444Mhz with 1066 RAM, the motherboard looses all LAN. Why is this?
Here is the overclocking settings screen within the BIOS of the Gigabyte motherboard.
My preferred overclock of 3.55HGz runs sweetly and passes Prime 95 and stays within operably temperature ranges.
However, upon booting with this overclock profile, Windows shows no Local Area Networks available in 'Control Panel > Network Connections'.
When the CPU Host Frequency is reduced slightly, strange things happen. For instance, at 415Mhz there is a BSOD:
At 413Mhz, the LAN is recognised and available within Windows but no sustained internet connection can be made. Web-pages just fail to load.
After incremental testing, the highest frequency that can be obtained while still having full use of the LAN is 412Mhz.
Why is it that this motherboard looses LAN functionality when the CPU Host Frequency is pushed past 412Mhz?
