8KHA+ Overclocking help

[Mustanggt]

Hi I have a 8KHA+ and XP 1600 , crucial 2100 256, 350 w enlight ps, sound blaster, and netgear nic. and 8500 Radeon, my trouble is I can overclock this to 149 FSB and it runs totally stable running 3dmark over and over. soon as i up fsb to 150 system wont even boot up, I have to clear cmos to get it back. this makes no sense to me there must be some componet causing this? I even clock the ram down to 100 FSB still wont boot at 150 fsb? any idea would be great thanks I have the 11/30 bios on MB my xp stays under 43c allways

A pci bus at 37,5 maybe cause trubble for you?
Like a sensetive NIC.

Have you tried upping your cpu V? Or your ram V? If that doesn't do it, I'd remove the sound card and nic, then try again. Once you reach your max fsb, add either card and try again. Process of elimination. You may have a cpu or mobo that just won't go any higher...

I pulled out both pci cards and upped the volts on ram and cpu. still no go at 150 fsb the thing is I could run at 150 fsb with the 10/17 bios but i would get reboots, that 10/17 bios would give me reboots anything past 145 fsb, I just tried to flash to 12/18 bios and it froze during flash luckly it was not started to flash yet . that scared the piss outa me, think I will leave it at 11/30 bios and be happy. I am getting 8650 3d mark scores at 148 FSB so I think this system is plenty fast. thanks for help

the 11/30 BIOS should let you get by the 150 mark

I dont know I read all kinds of reviews where there getting this board up to 170 and even 175 FSB and i cant even boot at 150??

You probably need the beta BIOS. There was some issue with getting 150+ that it resolved.

How about an executable file with the last official bios and the last 3 beta bios? here it is:8KHA+ bios and executable flasher
Here is some info on it:

GET FLASHDISK 1.1 FROM RASMoe
Features:
one single exe-file that creates you a bootable floppy.
When booting from it, you can Backup/Restore BIOS and choose one of the following BIOSes to flash:
8khi1b02 (date: 02/11/01)
8khi1b26 (date: 26/11/01)
8khaL00 (date: 30/11/01)
8khi1c18 (date: 18/12/01)

The 12/18 bios seemed to slow down my sandra benches a bunch in TE, but supposedly not much in the new pro version. Lowered my 3dmark2001 scores about 100-150 as well.
