OK guys, I've been struggling with overclocking my 3500+ Winchester. I currently have it set to 10x250 for 2.5GHz. I ruled out my memory as a cause for the problem by setting the divider to 100 and the timings to 3-4-4-10-2T. I can run Prime95 all day as well as run all of the 3dMark series and SuperPI without errors. The problem is that when I restart the computer it will hang while Windows XP is loading (on the first screen where the blue bar is moving.) This happens randomly and is the only problem I'm having while overclocking.
Do you guys have any ideas about what's causing it to hang while Windows loads? Is this usually indicative of a power supply problem? Here's my overclock specs:
FSB: 250
CPU mult: 10
CPU Voltage: 1.45 + 5% over
HTT Freq: 4
DRAM: 100, 3-4-4-10-2T
DRAM Voltage: 2.8V
Spread Spectrum: disabled
Cool 'n' Quiet: disabled
Athlon 64 3500+ Winchester
Thermalright XP-90 w/ Vantec Stealth
MSI K8N NEO2 Platinum
OCZ EL PC3200 2-3-2-6-1T
BFG 6800GT (stock, no overclock)
Samsung 160GB SATA
Western Digital 40GB IDE
NEC 3500 DVD-RW
Matshita DVD ROM
Antec TrueBlue 480 (12V=28A)
