BIOS overclock = WinXP blue screen of death. Help!
When I overclock my AMD1800+XP a bit, I get the Windows XP blue screen when
I boot up. I'm pretty sure all it is detecting is a system upgrade (if I had overclocked too much, the computer wouldn't make it that far, right?), and wants to reinstall/repair Windows XP. Is there any way to disable this screen so I don't have to repair my Windows installation (which would lose my SP1 update....I think)? Thanks for your help. --Mitchua |
Instead of over clocking - why dont you buy a bigger processor????

I doubt I'd see any preformance difference between my 1800+ and a 2200+ (which I think is the fastest chip I can use on my Asus A7V266-E mobo). If I wanted to spend money, I'd upgrade my ATI Radeon 700 64MB to a GF4 4200ti, that I'd notice :-) --Mitchua With the latest BIOS you can run an XP2600+ 266FSB chip in an A7V266-E if you can find one. Good to know. Thanks. I upgraded from an XP1800+ to an XP2400+ (couldn't find an XP2600+ 266FSB chip) & by changing multipliers it is now happily running at 2.3Ghz - effectively something over an XP2800+. Did you really notice that much of a difference in preformance? Is your XP1800+ a Palomino, Thoroughbred "A" or "B"? Palomino. The A7V266-E is not a good FSB overclocker (usually about 145 max) but if you have a Thoroughbred "B" you can probably adjust the multiplier (have to move the Palo freq jumper back to Athlon/Duron) without any surgery to the chip. Otherwise you will have to unlock the chip. It was booting into WinXP "stable" at 11.5 mult,148 fsb,1.85volt (~1701mhz) but I'd be downloading something and then BANG blue screen of death. I assume that was OC'ed too high (right?). Anyhow, I settled on 1.80volt, 11.5 mult, 138 fsh = 1621MHz and it seems to be running stable. Should I try to OC it any more? SNIP |

Did you really notice that much of a difference in preformance? With a 50% jump in clockspeed -in 2D no, in games yes, but that PC runs an unlocked ATI 9500 Pro & the CPU was the bottleneck. Is your XP1800+ a Palomino, Thoroughbred "A" or "B"? Palomino. Not a lot you can do then unless you fancy some surgery. The A7V266-E is not a good FSB overclocker (usually about 145 max) but if you have a Thoroughbred "B" you can probably adjust the multiplier (have to move the Palo freq jumper back to Athlon/Duron) without any surgery to the chip.

SNIP As I said usually about 145 is the max so you were doing pretty well at 148. A Palomino & an A7V266-E are just not a great overclocking platform (very stable everyday rig though). |

Otherwise you will have to unlock the chip. & PC's will boot into BIOS at speeds that they can't run Windows at so it probably isn't just detecting the upgrade. -- Ray |
