Hello everyone,
I've got a bit of a problem. Whenever i try to OC my CPU, it always crashes. Its a 3.0ghz Prescott CPU (system specs under my name) and has a Gigabyte G-Power PRO cooler on it.
I can get to 3.6 and 3.8 Ghz via my motherboard utility, but once i minimize the mobo utility, within 1-2 minutes, i get a BSOD, even at 3.5-3.6ghz. I checked the temps at 3.8 (barly had any time) and the CPU temp didnt go over 30*C (i turned the cooler on max, 3200 RPM).
Whenever i try to OC the comp in BIOS, the comp sometimes just doesnt start. If i go to 3.6 or 3.8 (FSB from 200 to about 230-240) it sometimes wont pass the initial 'beep' of the computer, or will freeze just before the welcome screen. I have also tried using all of the different CPU:RAM ratio's (dont know whats what), and it still doesnt work.
Lol, i bought the cooler so i can OC my comp, and now it won't OC at all
...i thought i could at least get it to a 4Ghz
...so all help is greatly appreciated 
Cheers
