Basically I'm overclocking an Intel E8400 on a GIGABYTE GA-G31M-ES2L
I got the chip to 3.6GHz on stock voltage and could've kept going, but then I realised my internet wasn't working... Onboard LAN had disappeared from Windows
I put it down to 3.5Ghz, still no internet. Then 3.4GHz, and hey presto my Onboard LAN appears in Windows again
So I went back to BIOS with my 3.4GHz overclock, and took the PCI-E frequency off auto, and set it to 100MHz... my PC would not boot. So I went back to BIOS again and upped the NB voltage, and still no boot. So I put the PCI-E frequency back to Auto and my PC booted up straight away
PCI-E standard frequency is 100MHz, so I don't understand why taking it off auto and setting it to 100MHz makes my PC fail to boot, even when I try extra voltage
Anybody have any ideas on this weird problem?
Oh and temps across both cores are 35c
EDIT: And I'm on the latest updated BIOS
