Hey, first post here so might as well make it count
I'm having some issues with overclocking my Athlon XP 2800+.... For some reason, I cannot overclock past 12.5x178 and when i try to get it higher than that, windows wont load. I have tested stability at 12.5x178 with prime95 and it ran for 10 mins without any issues, but when i load a game i get random crashes. Im wondering if this is a power supply issue or what and maybe updating the bios might help? Any help would be appreciated.
Specs:
Athlon XP 2800+ barton
NF7 v2.0 mobo
2x512 PC3200 Corisar XMS
GeForce FX5600
80gb 7200 rpm WD HD
Allied 400w PSU
temps:
stock speed: 37C idle, 46C load
12.5x178: 38C idle, 46C load
