weird problem?
Anyone come across this sort of thing before? Processor is Prime95 /
memtest stable. Runs perfect in normal windows applications. When the graphics start to get a little more intense it becomes a little less stable (got a nice habit of BSOD'ing). Latest drivers on everything. Card isn't o/c'd at all, agp is at stock frequency. Any ideas? Barton 2500 @ 3200 (11x200) @ 1.7 something volts (runs at 47 degrees flat out, case temp of 28) NF7-S v.2. GeForce 5200 128meg - anyone wanna shout me a nice 9800 XT? :-p 512 Twinmos pc3200 Cheers, Alex |

Raise your VCore until the problem goes away.
My vcore is set at 1.85v. If you go higher than 1.85v it isn't any healthty anymore for your cpu. |

I think the voltage is the solution as well.

If you go higher than 1.85v it isn't any healthty anymore for your cpu. It's not voltage that kills CPUs it's heat, so maybe you should suggest a maximum temperature, not a maximum voltage, which would give wildly varying temperatures depending on the cooling solution and ambient temps.
