crashing games
hello
i need some advice i have xp2000 A running at 10x166 v1.72 and it work fine for 4 months but few days a go i discovered that some of my games starting to crash at random moments after few test and investigation i set cpu to it default settings 12.5x133 v1.66 and no more crashing also setting it to 9x166 v.1.72 is stable now the question. is this cpu have no more power and no longer can be overclocked or i need to rise vcore more to make it stable again. if so how long it can work until i need to rise it again and it is worth to torture it in this way? now some numbers :-) temp: system temp = 31C 12.5x133 = idle 44C busy 51C 10x166 = idle 47C busy 56C so this doesnt look like temp problem (in my opinion) also tested with prime 6h without error when i first overclocked it and few days ago it runs over 1h prime and also nothing ane ideas or sugestions? thanks Tomek |

Hi Tom,
I had a similar problem with my XP2100 TBred. When I overclocked it to 14x166 it worked fine in all of my games and Prime95. But when summer came to Southern California my temps went up in the house and games started to crash and Prime would not run long. I opened my case and set a small powerful fan to blow more air in. No more crashing and Prime was stable. I just needed more cooling. If you try this and it works you may need more cooling to. Your voltage does not seem too high. I am at 1.9v right now but I will lower it soon. You may find a little more voltage will help you be stable also, it is worth a try. Prime95 raises processor temp but games raise video card temp and processor temp. Maybe more cooling for video card area will help.
