Well right now I have a A7N8X-E Deluxe and a Mobile 2500+ XP. Right now it runs 11.5x200 @ 1.625 100% stable.
So I thought hey... good chip... lets keep overclocking, so I bump it up to 12x200. Only problem now is the cpu can't seem to really handle that at 1.625, so I bump up the voltage. It takes me all the way to 1.725 until I can loop Prime95 and 3dmark2k1 for about 4 hours. So I think nice.. it's stable.
Turn off 3dmark, check a few emails, surf a bit, and next thin you know, it's just shut itself off. Well... everything's turned off, except the power light is still on. I have to hold the power button to turn it "off" (make the power light turn off), then turn the computer back on. So I'm like wtf? The thing is I did a 12 hour memtest86+ run the night before, then did my 3dmark and prim95, but a few minutes after turning off 3dmark, it just shuts off. Anybody else exeperience this?
