i have posted before but got no reply so i will try to be as specific as possible in the hope of getting some help, i just built my computer parts are as follows:
Rosewill 500w psu (want to rma it for another psu dont know which one yet)
Western Digital 250GB hdd
samsung dvd-rw optical drive
Albatron 7950GT
Thermaltake Tsunami case
BIOSTAR TForce965PT mobo
OCZ Platinum Revision 2 2GB
core 2 duo 4300
built it fine, installed xp it is up and running, installed drivers, flashes mobo bios, the ocing is where irun into problems.
i'm using the stock HSF, ram is running at 2.0v 4-4-4-4-15 timings, the 4300 is at 1.325v at first i raised the fsb to 233 that worked fine, but when i take it any higher than 250 it boots then crashes and tells me the overclock settings in the bios were reset, and the FSB is back to 200. using the program core temp, core 0 is 29 core 1 is 29 at idle, both cores under full load are 50 degress celcius. so i'm at a loss as what to do, would upgrading my cooling even allow a faster oc? this is my first build and as youcan imagine i'm pretty pissed right now. what should i do?
