Remember that when you raise FSB you also raise PCI and AGP clock. When
you raise FSB to 190, PCI clock raises to 190/5=38MHz. Default it is
33MHz. It can be dangerous for some PCI devices such as Hard Drives,
Sound etc. And it can also cause lack of stability and even can kill
your hard drive. If this is the problem then the only way to solve it
is by lowering the FSB:/
Yeah and just to re-iterate overclocking fsb can damage (some) memory - I
will never overclock fsb again and I have overclocked fsb before in the past
but only small amounts eg Celeron 400 to 450 at 75mhz from 66mhz w/o
problem - my current setup is overclocked XP 1700 @ XP 2000 but fsb remains
in spec. I also suspect a highly out of spec overclock 124mhz with a PCI/AGP
divider of 2/3 killed a graphics card prematurely running at 81mhz AGP
instead of 66.
